Henry Davis Makes Impressive MLB Debut with the Pirates.

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Henry Davis, who is learning a new position and playing during a seven-game losing streak, can seek advice from veteran players who have had to play multiple positions, according to Mt.

Henry Davis shines in MLB debut as Pirates' No. 1 pick.

Henry Davis, the No.1 overall pick in the 2021 MLB draft, made his debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night. Davis, a catcher out of Louisville, demonstrated his skills by stroking a ball 106 miles per hour down the third-base line for a double. Despite the hype surrounding his call-up, Davis remains focused on helping the team win and is not allowing his status as a former No.1 overall pick to influence his perception of who he is in the clubhouse. The Pirates' manager, Derek Shelton, believes the franchise still has to help Davis navigate whatever choppy waters may come his way, regardless of how nonplussed he seems to be.

Pirates promote top prospect Henry Davis to the majors.

Henry Davis, the Pittsburgh Pirates' No. 1 pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, is being called up to the majors less than two years after being drafted. Davis, a catcher out of the University of Louisville, will join the Pirates for their Monday game against the Cubs. He has played in only 10 games at the Triple-A level before being called up. Davis hit .284/.433/.547 with 10 homers and 27 RBI in 41 games for Double-A Altoona this season. Scouts were confident Davis would stick at catcher on draft night, though he's likely to end up being more "tolerable" than "exceptional" there, based on where he is at present.
