2025 Player Outlook

The 2024 season was one to forget for Davis, as he hit just .144 with a 36.9 percent strikeout rate across 37 games. Joey Bart came into the mix and became the primary backstop for the Pirates, and Davis seems destined to begin the year in the minors. To Davis’ credit, he did a good job staying in the strike zone last season, but a 76.3 percent zone contact rate, 67.3 percent contact rate, and 15.1% swinging strike rate simply isn’t going to cut it. The power may be above average when he makes contact, but the quantity of contact has been too few and far between to make Davis a viable fantasy option. Fortunately, he still has eligibility behind the dish, but with Bart and Endy Rodriguez in the mix, this may be his last year having the “C” for fantasy managers. He’s a late round flyer at best, but more likely, a waiver wire option if he starts getting ABs and catches fire.
