Josh Holliday didn’t know what to expect from right-hander Gabe Davis in Sunday’s Bedlam series finale.
Davis, a sophomore pitcher for Oklahoma State, began the season as a high-end reliever for the Cowboys after a hot ending to the 2023 season. However, since being moved into a starting role, Davis’ mound production has regressed. It made the hours leading into Sunday all the more stressful in OSU’s eventual 9-5 series-clinching win over OU.
Through Davis’ first five six outings of the 2024 season, he showed flashes of immense upside. His pitch command appeared fixed. His breaking pitches had more and sharper break.
