He’s no Ohtani, but Davidson knows what two-way role he wants to fill for Rangers

One thing Matt Davidson wanted to make sure was perfectly clear Tuesday were his intentions as a two-way player.

The Texas Rangers won’t have to juggle the next Shohei Ohtani.

“I don’t want it to seem like I can just go to the big leagues and be a good pitcher,” Davidson said.

Davidson, though, comes to spring training with plenty of intrigue after morphing into a two-way player last season with the Chicago White Sox. He made three one-inning appearances, his first June 29 at Globe Life Park, and allowed a hit and a walk and no runs to put himself in a position to possibly pitch more the rest of his career.
