Zach Davies made his long-awaited debut for the Padres last night, and he was outstanding against the San Francisco Giants.
With one of the more underrated moves in the offseason, the Padres bolstered their starting rotation, trading for Zach Davies. The former Milwaukee Brewer was included in the Trent Grisham trade, and he is in every sense of the word, a pitcher. Davies is similar to Cubs ace Kyle Hendricks in that he doesn’t have overpowering stuff.
Rather, Davies uses deception and off-speed pitches to fool the opposition.
