2020 Fantasy Outlook
Davis hasn't shown much through the first two seasons of his big-league career. After posting a respectable 4.15 ERA in 34.2 innings in 2018, he stumbled to a 6.15 ERA in 20.2 frames in 2019. His 24.5% strikeout rate was above-average, but his 14.3% walk rate and 2.61 HR/9 were each quite poor. In 55.1 total career innings, he now has a 5.04 ERA, a number backed up by his 4.97 FIP. The southpaw hasn't shut down fellow lefties, as they've hit .286/.375/.548 against him. There could be at least a little upside here, as Davis owns a 2.69 ERA and a 30.0% strikeout rate in 83.2 career innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, but that upside is likely as nothing more than a capable middle reliever. It would take significant skill growth for Davis to earn save opportunities, and he doesn't offer much in other categories, so he can safely be ignored during draft season in most formats.
