Players A to Z, Kyle Davies

Kyle Davies pitches as a starter for the Kansas City Royals. Davies holds a 5.54 career ERA after five seasons, and deservedly so. He doesn’t strike out too many, walks way too many, and is not all that talented at keeping the ball in the park.

One big problem for Davies is that he extends the heart of the opponent’s order. Things should get a bit easier after the number five hitter, but the average six and seven hitters slug over .500 against Davies for his career. Combine that with high OBPs by the 4-6 hitters, and the RBIs are just waiting to happen.
