“#Henry Davis’ road from Westchester to top MLB Draft pick<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Three years in Kentucky didn\u2019t remove New York from Henry Davis\u2019 blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Yorkers don\u2019t make excuses with stuff like that,\u201d Davis, the Pirates\u2019 top catching prospect, told Sports+ in a recent interview as he discussed growing up as a ballplayer in our four-season region. \u201cComing from New York, it\u2019s great that other people can play year-round. But having that time off really made me app<\/a>reciate baseball more when you did get to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Belatedly, it\u2019s a pleasure to pay tribute, and offer some local love, to Davis, the top overall pick in this year\u2019s amateur draft out of Louisville and, prior to that, Fox Lane High School in Westchester. It\u2019s admittedly personal; I\u2019ve known about Davis for a long time thanks to a family connection with his grandfather Dan Schaefer<\/a>, a performance coach whose client list includes former Jets quarterback Chad Pennington. Schaefer attended the draft, July 11 in Denver, so he got to celebrate in real time with his grandson.<\/p>\n

Now 22, Davis became the second straight \u201c1-1\u201d to lead off the draft as a college player after not getting popped at all out of high school, following the Tigers\u2019 Spencer Torkelson. Surprised? Me, too. The Tigers\u2019 Casey Mize (2018) and the Nationals Stephen Strasburg (2009) also pulled off this feat relatively recently.<\/p><\/div>\n
