Part 2/8:
Davis’s journey began in the Texas Rangers organization, where he was highly regarded as a prospect. Selected in the fifth round of the 2006 MLB Draft, he quickly made waves in the Minor Leagues, amassing 74 home runs and a batting average over .300 in his first 275 games. Although he had a promising rookie season with the Rangers, hitting 17 home runs in just 80 games, things would not sustain for long. Over his next two and a half seasons with Texas, Davis struggled with consistency and health, experiencing a dramatic drop in performance and an alarming increase in strikeouts.
