Brennen Davis was all over Top 100 prospect lists from 2020-22 and played in the 2021 Futures Game. The outfielder, who the Cubs took in the second round in 2018 out of high school in Arizona, seemed like one of those proverbial “can’t-miss” prospects, a guy who was going to make the big leagues at a young age and become a star.
As you know, injuries happened. Davis played in only 124 games total the last two years and batted just .192/.298/.303 with 10 home runs.
Several players passed him by on the Cubs prospect list and at age 24, with no MLB experience, Davis dropped off MLB top prospect lists.
