Grizzlies' Davis Wins Batting Title Contact: Matt Grilli [email protected] 512.310.2900 www.pclbaseball.com @TripleABaseball For Immediate Release September 5, 2018 GRIZZLIES’ DAVIS WINS BATTING TITLE ROUND ROCK, Texas – Fresno Grizzlies infielder J.D. Davis etched his name into Pacific Coast League history by winning the League’s 2018 batting title, the League office announced Wednesday. Davis hit .341, beating Salt Lake’s Jose Fernandez by eight points, to become the third player in franchise history to achieve the feat, joining John Bowker (2009, .342 average) and Brian Dallimore (2003, .352 average). Davis was one of the key offensive cogs for a Fresno team that won the Pacific Northern Division, finishing the regular season with the PCL’s second‐best record (82‐57). The Astros farmhand accumulated 114 hits in 334 at‐bats, 44 of which went for extra‐bases. Davis ripped 25 doubles, two triples and 17 home runs in 85 games. The California native collected multiple hits in over 40 percent of the games he played (37‐of‐ 85). He had three or more hits in 12 contests, including a season‐high four knocks on three occasions. On May 17 against eventual Pacific Southern Division Champion El Paso, Davis hit for the cycle, while also recording a season‐high five RBI, two runs and a walk in Fresno’s 9‐7 win. Davis also had three games which he hit two home runs, two of which came in consecutive contests, August 16‐17 at Tacoma; that capped a stretch that saw him hit six home runs over a four‐game span and earned him PCL Player of the Week honors for the period of August 13‐19. The Cal State Fullerton product had a season‐high 12‐game hitting streak from April 28‐May 9, a span in which he posted a .551 average (27‐for‐49) with 17 RBI. Davis hit a monthly‐best .470 (31‐for‐66) in 17 May contests. He was also particularly effective against left‐handed pitchers (.408, 31‐for‐76) and in road games (.387, 72‐for‐186). Davis, in his fifth year in the Astros organization, made Houston’s Opening Day roster and has since been recalled to the Major Leagues twice. The third‐round draft pick in 2014 has climbed up the organizational ladder, appearing in Fresno in each of the past two seasons. In 101 games at the Triple‐A level, Davis has hit .335 (132‐for‐394) with 22 home runs and 99 RBI. Davis’ career accolades include twice being named a mid‐season All‐Star (2016, 2017), both with Double‐A Corpus Christi, a postseason All‐Star (2017) and an eight‐time recipient of a League’s Player of the Week. To qualify for a batting title in Minor League Baseball, hitters must have the number of total plate appearances equaling 2.7 multiplied by the number of games scheduled in the League’s Championship season. For the 140‐game 2018 campaign, hitters qualified by recording 378 or more plate appearances. Davis, who fell a single plate appearance short of qualifying, is deemed the League’s 2018 batting champion because of Official Baseball Rule 9.22(a); the rule states, “… any player with fewer than the required number of plate appearances whose average would be the highest, if he were charged with the required number of plate appearances shall be awarded the batting championship.” Pacific Coast League of Professional Baseball Clubs, Inc.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Christian Arroyo: next piece of homegrown infield? John Shea SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants love shortstops. Theirs is one of the best in baseball, Brandon Crawford. Their second baseman was drafted as a shortstop and converted in the minors, Joe Panik. They drafted Matt Duffy as a shortstop and taught him to play third base as a big-leaguer. Last summer, they traded for Eduardo Nuñez, who had played mostly shortstop during his career but played third after Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay. Heck, even Buster Posey played shortstop in college. No wonder the Giants’ top hitting prospect is a shortstop. Not that Christian Arroyo is targeted to play the position in the big leagues, not with Mr. Crawford in the house. Arroyo, who’s 21 going on 30, is the team’s third baseman of the future, and we’re not talking the distant future. It’s not unrealistic to imagine Arroyo playing third on Opening Day in 2018, so long as he continues to excel on the fast track. 1 “For me, they stressed the value of versatility,” Arroyo said at his Scottsdale Stadium locker. “Staying versatile is going to be huge.” Arroyo was the Giants’ top draft pick in 2013 — he was salutatorian at Hernando High School in Brooksville, Fla. — and he signed after turning down a scholarship from Florida, where he would have studied architectural engineering. He’s plenty smart enough to realize his ticket to the big leagues might not be at his No.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

This is the sixteenth year of the Annual in the book format, and we welcome the talents of Mark “Boomer” Bloom to our staff. This year’s book has the features you’re accustomed to reading, and this year each team writ- eup includes a player we’ve designated as The Franchise. Some are current players, while others are from the team’s past . sometimes when the team was in a different place. We imagine that this will lead to some interesting discussions. We also feature entertaining articles by Joe Auletta and Mark Freedman, comments from the Commissioner, and a dedicatory poem on Bob Feller from the talented Jim Dietz. We also bring back Grantland Rice to memorialize the late, great Harmon Killebrew. As always, it’s probably as much fun to write as it is to read.
