An outfielder out of Bishop Moore Catholic High School in Orlando, Florida, he measured 6-feet, 180 pounds at the 2025 Perfect Game National Showcase. In May, ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel rated Davis the No. 125 prospect available in the 2026 MLB Draft.
MLB.com notes that Davis, who bats and throws left-handed, displays solid bat speed with an ability to make hard contact. He’s also considered a plus-runner and defensive asset in the outfield.
