Davin is a hardworking 2021 2-way prospect that was eager to learn and made adjustments throughout the weekend. At 2B, Davin works hard to the ball and tries to work behind it. When fielding, he needs to continue to be on time with his prep step, present a low/early glove, and work from the ground up. Creating momentum with his lower half and exchanging the ball in front of his body will allow him to get into a balanced position to throw. At the plate, Davin starts in an open and comfortable stance. He gets the barrel flat to the ball, makes consistent contact, and has good hand eye coordination. He needs to continue to attack the inside part of the ball, create backside drive, and keep his head down through contact. On the bump, Davin shows confidence in his fastball, he attacks the zone, and gathers over the rubber. Continuing to find a balance point over the backside, separating on time, and creating a loose arm action will help him have a more fluid delivery. Davin is a team player and we hope to see his progress in the future.
