Deceptive look with shorter arm path and a 3/4 slot. Feel for swing&miss SL. Good mix.
FB: 87-89
SL: 72-74, depth

A brief start from Keenan here and he showed some impressive stuff. Missing barrels with the FB and generating some s/m with the CB.

Davis has been giving North Buncombe quality innings behind the plate since freshman year. In fact, we 1st saw Davis when he took home @CamWoodBats Player of the Game honors vs Erwin in 2024.
Works hard behind the plate, bodies up well; will be receiving a very talented NB pitching staff in 2026. Pops were between 2.03 - 2.13; quick transfers, momentum; needs to work on general arm strength and adding more physicality to an already strong, promising 5'8" 165 frame
Flashed some pop at the plate with a top EV of 91 mph; gets on plane well but can still make more gains with power by working on hip fire/torque/rotational acceleration. Overall, nice quiet & compact swing
Will be open to both JUCO and 4 year opportunities. Head Coach @AndyRunion will be a good reference as well
