Player to Watch: Kevin Davis
OXFORD––Oxford Academy finished 8-11 in 2013, 7-4 in the MAC for a final fourth place seeding. they may have lost pitcher Andrew Golden (40 IP, 3 W, 2.43 ERA) but they have seven returning starters in 2014.
Sophomore pitcher and four sport athlete, Kevin Davis, is one of those returning. Davis pitched 40 innings last season, earning three wins and totaled an impressive 1.87 earned run average.
"Kevin has very good control," said ninth year Head Coach Chris Palmer, "he probably has as good of control as any player we've had in six or seven years."
Davis is six-foot-four-inches tall and he's building up his fastball. "He's tall and lanky so he gets some good leverage there." said Palmer.
The basketball all-star is still playing AAU in Syracuse three times a week. "I probably don't get enough sleep," said Davis. But the pressure of playing four sports hasn't hampered his ability to strike batters out.
"I (throw) mainly fastballs, but if people try to catch up with me, I hit them with the curve ball," said Davis.
"As the season progresses he tends to command his curve ball pretty well.
He's a very intelligent, hard working kid so he has a lot of the attributes that you want out there," said Palmer.
Davis has developed a good rhythm with senior catcher Matt Moore, who is a four year starter and has two years of experience behind the plate.
"We're all friends. We all played three sports together, we all played soccer, basketball and volleyball together. Our team chemistry should really be better this year," said Davis.
With the frost still in the ground and spring break fast approaching, local sports fans will have their fill of baseball in the coming month. "I think we are going to get a couple of games in next week," said Palmer.
