Jaylin Davis is having a breakout year.
The outfielder, who the Giants acquired from the Twins in the Sam Dyson trade, had (other than a blip in this second half of 2017) had a nice, steady career before 2019. with consistent wOBAs in the .330-.350 range.
Between his two AAA stops this year, his wOBA is .462. But it hasn’t been an easy road to get here. In fact, the year the Twins took him in the draft, he didn’t think anyone would want him.
18 games into his junior season at Appalachian State — where his manager was Billy Jones, father of Ryder Jones — Davis tore his labrum, which ended his season and meant that he sat out his first professional season after being drafted.
