Catcher Henry Davis, the Pirates’ 2021 first overall draft pick, has been making plenty of waves in Pittsburgh’s Minor League system this year. Most recently, Davis was named the 20th hottest prospect in baseball for 2022, after being selected to the All-Star Futures Game as a member of the Double-A affiliate Altoona Curve. The big question on everyone’s mind is when will Davis be assigned to the Pirates to get a taste of Major League ball?
Pittsburgh is seldom ever praised for decisions made by ownership, management, or scouts, but drafting Davis might be the best decision the team has made in the draft in a long time.
