Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 45 | Field: 55 | Overall: 50

Davalan moved from Montreal to Florida for his high school senior season in 2023, attracting some scouting attention but not enough to divert him from attending Florida Gulf Coast. After transferring to Arkansas this spring, he has become one of the most productive hitters in the Southeastern Conference as a sophomore. He's giving off some Drew Gilbert vibes, though he won't quite go in the first round like Gilbert did in 2022 after starring at Tennessee.

A leadoff hitter with a sweet left-handed stroke, Davalan has a quality approach and rarely chases or swings-and-misses. He focuses on hitting the ball from gap to gap and has surprising strength for someone who stands at just 5-foot-9. He's driving the ball better after dropping a leg kick in favor of a toe tap, showing power to both his pull side and the opposite field, and he should produce 15-20 homers per season.

Davalan has solid-to-plus speed, plays with a lot of energy and can steal an occasional base. He divided his time at Florida Gulf Coast between second base and right field, played center in the Cape Cod League and has spent most of this spring in left. His quickness gives him range to go with fringy-to-average arm strength, and he'll be able to enhance his value as a pro if he can play up the middle at second or in center.

After moving from Montreal to Florida for his high school senior season in 2023, Davalan earned some scouting attention but not enough to sway him from attending Florida Gulf Coast. He transferred to Arkansas last spring, established himself as one of the better hitters in the college class as a sophomore-eligible and became one of two Razorbacks taken with consecutive supplemental first-round picks by the Dodgers. Taken at No. 41, one choice after left-hander Zach Root, he went 17-for-34 (.500) in Single-A after signing for $1,997,500.

Davalan has a sweet left-handed stroke and excels at making contact, striking out just 10 percent of the time during his college career. He doesn't try to do too much at the plate, rarely chasing pitches out of the zone and concentrating on working from gap to gap. While he's just 5-foot-9, he has some sneaky pop and began driving the ball better after eschewing a leg kick in favor of a toe tap at Arkansas, displaying 15-20 homer potential.

Davalan features solid-to-plus speed and plays with nonstop energy, though he's not a prolific basestealer. Mostly a corner outfielder in college, he played center field during his brief pro debut and has the range to be an average defender there. He's a solid left fielder with fringy arm strength but would face increased power demands at the lesser position.

After transferring to Arkansas this spring, he became one of the most productive hitters in the Southeastern Conference as a sophomore and gave off some Drew Gilbert vibes. The Dodgers took Razorbacks with their first two selections in the 2025 Draft, taking Davalan one pick (41st overall) after left-hander Zach Root and signing him for $1,997,500.
