Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 40 | Overall: 40

Davis has yet to put everything together at Oklahoma State, but as a 6-foot-9 right-hander who can reach triple digits with his fastball, his upside is obvious. His stuff improved and he made some progress with his control and command during his first two years with the Cowboys, but he still has a long way to go. He missed fall practice after breaking his collarbone in an off-field accident and has been roughed up this spring while losing a month to shoulder issues.

When he's right, Davis' heater parks at 94-97 mph and touches 100 with some mild armside run, and while his size creates very steep downhill plane, his velocity doesn't overpower hitters as much as it should. He also misses bats with a tight upper-80s slider that reaches 92 mph, and he can turn it into a harder cutter. His mid-80s changeup lacks reliability but features quality fade and tumble at times.

Carrying 234 pounds on his huge frame, Davis could add even power once he gains some projectable strength. The biggest question is whether he can keep his long limbs in sync consistently enough to locate his pitches well enough to be a starter. If he winds up in the bullpen, he has the stuff for a high-leverage role.

Davis never could claim a regular turn in Oklahoma State's rotation, battling injuries and his control and command while logging a 5.61 ERA in three seasons. As a junior, he missed fall practice after breaking his collarbone in a fishing accident and lost a month last spring to shoulder issues. But he was still a 6-foot-9 right-hander with power stuff, so the White Sox selected him in the fifth round last July and signed him for an over-slot $587,500.

Davis can work at 94-97 mph and touch 100 with his fastball, which features more downhill plane than armside run, so it can get hit when he doesn't command it. His tight upper-80s slider climbs as high as 92 mph, and he can turn it into a harder cutter. His mid-80s changeup lacks consistency but will flash some intriguing fade and tumble.

With room to add more strength to his huge frame, Davis could add even more velocity. He still has starter upside, but to get there he'll have to prove he can stay healthy and keep his long limbs in sync well enough to put his pitches where he wants them. If he does head to the bullpen, he has the fastball and slider to fill a late-inning role.
