Career
Davies attended Mesquite High School in Gilbert, Arizona. He played for the school's baseball team as a middle infielder, becoming a pitcher in his junior year. The Baltimore Orioles selected Davies in the 26th round of the 2011 MLB Draft. Davies signed with the Orioles, forgoing his commitment to Arizona State University for a $575,000 signing bonus.
Davies made his professional debut with the Delmarva Shorebirds of the Class A South Atlantic League in 2012, where he pitched to a 3.86 earned run average (ERA). He had a 3.69 ERA for the Frederick Keys of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League in 2013. In 2014, he pitched for the Bowie Baysox of the Class AA Eastern League. For Bowie, Davies pitched to a 3.35 ERA. He represented the Orioles in the Arizona Fall League after the regular season. Davies began the 2015 season with the Norfolk Tides of the Class AAA International League, and was chosen to represent the Orioles at the 2015 All-Star Futures Game. With Norfolk, Davies pitched to a 2.84 ERA in 19 games.
On July 31, 2015, the Orioles traded Davies to the Milwaukee Brewers for Gerardo Parra. The Brewers assigned Davies to the Colorado Springs Sky Sox of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League, and promoted him to make his major league debut on September 2. He recently has been working on a four seam fastball which typically maxes out at around 94-95. He also had a slider in the 2015-2016 season which was about 91 mph.
Scouting Report
Davies has a three pitch repertoire featuring a two-seam fastball, a curveball, and a changeup. His fastball typically maxes out around 91–94 MPH. His changeup is widely considered his best pitch, as it is thrown deceptively and has a very sharp downward break as it approaches the batter. His pinpoint control is also a strength and should become more consistent with experience.
