Grant Davis
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Davis can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Davis has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Davis also has a decent changeup. He continues to have trouble getting lefthanders out.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Davis is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Davis has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Davis as a pinch-runner on occasion.
