Rookie Davis was selected by the Yankees in the 14th round of the 2011 MLB Draft out of Dixon High School in North Carolina. Davis, despite his decidedly unremarkable draft slot, had himself a grand time in high school. He threw not one no-hitter, not two no-hitters, but five no-hitters. It's taken Davis some time to re-capture the dominance he had as an amateur, but a strong 2015 campaign has led to both a promotion and more national attention.
Davis' strikeout rate spiked to 25.9 percent at High-A Tampa while his walk rate cratered to 4.
