Pirates top prospect Henry Davis has been hit with multiple appearances on the Minor League injured list.
Hit being literal.
Davis was placed on the IL last Friday, July 8 due to an injured left wrist. The Bucco backstop and 2021 No. 1 overall pick has been a magnet for MiLB pitchers, being plunked an unreal 17 times in only 41 games.
Davis, 22, was hit in five straight games… twice. The oddities do not end there.
According to MLB Pipeline, since 1901, a MLB player has only been hit in five straight games… twice.
