Though he only arrived in Flushing a year ago, J.D. Davis has quickly cemented himself as a fan favorite for the New York Mets. He had a season to remember in 2019, setting team home records for batting .354 with a 1.078 OPS in Queens, while leading the NL in batting in the second half with a .335 average after the All-Star break.
Davis also delivered an impassioned post-game interview on August 21 after he walked off the Cleveland Indians, further endearing himself to Mets fans with his unbridled enthusiasm. It quickly became clear last year that Davis, one of the original members of the “Queens Cookie Club,” absolutely loves being a Met.
