Mason Davis was a guy I had no idea about coming into the series. He impressed at the plate and showed versatility defensively. Because of his defensive ability and speed, his light bat will not play that much of a factor due to the fact that he has a utility player ceiling. Davis is a guy who is feasting on lesser competition presently and he will be challenged more as he progresses. Davis will provide value off the bench for a MLB club as a pinch runner/utility/defensive replacement 25th-man type player.

Drafted: 2014 19th round,
Why: advanced college bat; defensive versatility; threat with legs; late round win if he reaches/succeeds at AA level

Ceiling: Role 40; MLB Utility.
