Davis' Career Professional Stats

MOREHEAD, Ky. -- Former Morehead State baseball star Taylor Davis will get his opportunity to showcase his skills at the Major League level. The former Eagle catcher has been called up to the Chicago Cubs.

Davis, a free agent when he left Morehead State for the professional ranks in 2011, has spent a majority of the past three season for the Iowa Cubs in Triple A.

This season he has put together a .297 batting average with six home runs and 62 RBI in 102 games. He spent the 2013, 2014 and 2015 seasons mostly with the Double A Tennessee Smokies.

Davis, a native of Jupiter, Fla., who was originally drafted by the Florida Marlins out of high school, has become somewhat of an internet sensation this season with his "stare downs" at TV and webcast cameras in stadiums.

Davis was a First-Team All-Ohio Valley Conference selection in 2011 when he batted .414, nailed 17 home runs, legged out 13 doubles and recorded 48 RBI.

Davis is the first position player from MSU to be in the Major Leagues since Denny Doyle in the 1970s.

He is one of seven former Eagles currently in professional baseball with Tyler Keele, Aaron Leasher, Patrick McGuff and Matt Anderson in affiliated ball and Kane Sweeney and Brandon Rawe in independent leagues.
