The prospect movement has begun. On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Pirates promoted 2021 No. 1 overall pick Henry Davis to Triple-A Indianapolis, pairing him with fellow top-catching prospect Endy Rodriguez.
Davis obliterated Double-A pitching. In 148 at-bats with the Altoona Curve, Davis slashed .284/.433/.547 with 10 home runs, 27 RBIs and a .980 OPS through 41 games. He earned 32 walks, compared to 35 strikeouts, and registered 81 total bases.
Davis played 17 games in the Arizona Fall League in 2022 - hitting a home run and driving in six - while still finding a way to be hit on seven occasions.
