Red Sox, Noah Davis Agree To Minor League Deal

The Red Sox agreed to a minor league contract with right-hander Noah Davis last week.

The former Colorado pitcher announced the news on social media on Saturday.

Davis has pitched in the majors in each of the last three seasons.

That included a career-high nine outings for the Rockies this year.

Davis tossed 20 1/3 innings of 5.85 ERA ball with a below-average 15.6% strikeout rate.

The 62 righty owns a 7.71 earned run average across 51 1/3 frames in his major league career.

He has started six of 18 appearances.

The UC Santa Barbara product has also worked in a swing role at the Triple-A level.

Davis has started 23 of 34 outings for the Rockies top minor league team.

He has a 5.06 ERA across 133 1/3 innings in the Pacific Coast League.

Davis has fanned just under 20% of batters faced against a higher than average 11.3% walk percentage.

While the numbers arent especially impressive at either stop, Davis has had the misfortune of pitching in difficult environments.

He averaged nearly 94 MPH on his sinker in a multi-inning role for the Rox.

That hasnt resulted in huge swinging strike or ground-ball numbers.

The Red Sox will try to translate that repertoire into more consistent results in a new setting.
