Recently, I was lucky enough to conduct an interview with Chicago Cubs’ prospect Taylor Davis

The Chicago Cubs have a wealth of talent in their minor league system. One of those prospects looking for a shot at the majors is 27-year-old Taylor Davis. Davis began his career with the Cubs in 2011 as a member of the team’s rookie-level affiliate. In a short stint at that level, Davis proved he belonged in professional baseball. Over 11 games, Davis slashed .308/.391/.487 with ten RBI and three triples.

Following his stellar play in rookie ball, the 5-10 prospect continued to work his way through the Cubs’ farm system. In 104 games between Double-A and Triple-A in 2015, Davis slashed .311/.361/.483 with nine home runs and 43 RBI.

So far this season, Davis is off to a nice start at Triple-A Iowa. In 31 games, Davis is slashing .284/.349/.431 with three home runs and 23 RBI.
