Henry Davis Blasts Fourth Spring Homer
9 months agoPittsburgh Pirates outfielder/catcher Henry Davis went 1-for-3 with a home run in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He hit his fourth homer of spring training on Saturday, a solo shot in the top of the third inning against Matt Manning. Davis is hitting .333 with four homers and nine RBI with a 1.280 OPS in 21 at-bats this spring. He'll look to improve upon his 2023 season in which the former No. 1 overall pick was underwhelming at the plate with a .213 batting average, seven home runs, and 24 RBI in 62 games. ATC projects Davis to notch 15 HR and 52 RBI on a .243 batting average. With Endy Rodriguez (elbow) slated to miss the 2024 season and offseason signing of free agent catcher Yasmani Grandal, Davis' hot spring is forcing his way onto the Opening Day roster and will split time between catcher and outfield in 2024. The 24-year-old's draft stock continues to soar with his hot spring, and he could smash his current NFBC ADP of 291.
