Draft League Spotlight: Austin Davis

Player: Austin Davis
Position: OF
School: West Virginia

Davis is a plus athlete and the most electric player on West Virginia’s squad. His plus speed (6.5-sec 60-yard time) is a true carrying tool and a game-changing asset on the bases, where Davis has been successful in 28 of 34 career opportunities. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound right-handed hitter fits the mold of a leadoff man well because he shows an aptitude for playing small ball and putting pressure on the defense, with on-base skills that are fueled by his patient approach. Davis has bounced around the diamond in his collegiate career and saw time at multiple infield spots as an underclassman before settling into an outfield role in ‘21.
