Davis improbably began his career as 24th-round pick in 2015 by the Minnesota Twins out of Appalachian State University. I say improbable because the 24th round no longer exists. MLB reduced the draft to 20 rounds after the pandemic-shortened 2020 draft.

The odds of any pick making it to the majors are low, but that is especially true for someone taken in the 24th round.
