2012 Draft Blog

Mississippi prep OF rising draft boards
3/30/2012 8:15:33 PM
D.J. Davis of Wiggins, Miss. continues to make a very strong impression on scouts.  After running the fastest 60-time at the East Coast Pro last summer (6.38), Davis put on a display at the WWBA World Championship last October, going 5-for-5 in stolen base attempts.  He is more than just a burner, with the ability to drive the ball to the gaps, and his size suggests that he could continue to develop more over-the-fence power as well.  He continues to make significant improvements at the plate as he pushes his name up draft boards.  The 6-foot, 170-pound left-handed hitting outfielder is currently ranked No. 79 in the HS class of 2012 rankings, but could be selected much earlier than where that ranking would reflect come June.
