Henry Davis is an outfield fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Davis as an undervalued OF in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 196
CURRENT ADP: ~281
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates catcher/outfielder Henry Davis graduated from prospect status and appeared in 62 games for the Bucs in the 2023 season. His debut season wasn't exactly a productive one, as he hit just .213 with seven home runs, three stolen bases, and a .653 OPS across 255 trips to the plate.
The 2021 No. 1 overall pick also spent just two innings behind the plate versus 417 1/3 frames in the outfield. The good news is that Pirates management stated Henry would indeed enter spring training as a backstop, but he is currently not catcher-eligible. Davis has been on absolute fire this spring, hitting .292 with four home runs and nine RBI over nine games, and his bat should keep him in the lineup daily.
The long-term outlook is murky. His bat will play and ATC is projecting 15 home runs and nine stolen bases from Henry in 2024, solid figures for a catcher as he seemingly should gain eligibility early in the season. However, dynasty league managers will want to take note that there is a very real chance he ends up in right field, first base, or designated hitter.
His defense was graded poorly in right in his rookie season. For now, his 344.21 ADP as an outfielder is steep, but considering the catchers available in that range, he is offering some value at his prevailing ADP for 2024.
