2024 Fantasy Outlook
After being selected first overall in the 2021 MLB Draft, Davis was limited to only 59 games in 2022 by a wrist injury. That appeared to set back his timeline to reach the majors, though he ripped through work at Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis to reach Pittsburgh by mid-June of 2023. Davis' opening sample in the majors wasn't all that inspiring, as he managed only a .653 OPS, .287 wOBA and 76 wRC+. That was driven primarily by a strikeout rate that spiked to 27 percent after sitting consistently in the high teens and low 20s throughout his minor-league stints. Considering he also played through a right hand injury, there were some positive underlying signs from his time in the majors despite the poor surface stats, highlighted by a 7.0 percent barrel rate and 88.6 average exit velocity - both of which were almost exactly league-average. In addition to proving he can stay healthy, the biggest question for Davis is where he'll play defensively. After playing primarily behind the plate in the minors, upon reaching the majors, he started exclusively in right field or at DH. He'll enter the 2024 season without catcher eligibility as a result, though general manager Ben Cherington stated early in the offseason that the team still views him as an option behind the dish. If he gets enough playing time to regain eligibility, he'll instantly be back on fantasy radars, but he's far less appealing as an outfielder and potentially first baseman. Read Past Outlooks
Out with hand injury
The Pirates placed Davis on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to left hand inflammation, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when exactly Davis suffered the injury, but he hasn't seen the field since going 0-for-3 with a strikeout Wednesday against the Cubs. Joey Bart and Yasmani Grandal will continue to split catching duties for the Pirates.

Stat Review
How does Henry Davis compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Injuries to his left wrist limited Davis to about half a season with multiple lengthy absences across stops at Single-A, High-A and Double-A. Endy Rodriguez has jumped Davis on the organizational depth chart at catcher, but there should still be enough playing time to go around while mixing in designated hitter and possibly right field if Davis can stay healthy and reach his potential as a hitter. He is built like a lumberjack and uses brute strength as much as bat speed to create plus game power from the right side. Davis hit .266/.384/.472 with a 20.2 K% on the year, and given the injuries, it's fair to grade those strong numbers on a bit of a curve. Defensively, his plus arm would allow him to stick behind the plate with robo umps, but he might spend most of his time at DH while the human element remains. The Pirates selected Davis with the No. 1 overall pick in 2021, so he will be given every possible chance to reach his ceiling as a middle-of-the-order run producer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Run as primary catcher ending
Davis is unlikely to get much more time as Pittsburgh's primary catcher with Yasmani Grandal, who is on the injured list with a foot injury, beginning a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Davis has 16 starts through Pittsburgh's first 20 games, but he hasn't put his best foot forward with a .182/.288/.236 slash line in 66 plate appearances. Grandal was expected to work as the Pirates' primary backstop prior to suffering the injury during spring training, and Davis' struggles likely mean that's still the plan. A demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis is also possible following the acquisition of Joey Bart.
