Biography

Bud Davis, born in 1895, had a brief yet notable career in Major League Baseball, playing as a position player from 1915. His professional tenure spanned from April 19, 1915, to September 23, 1915, during a period marked by the tail end of the deadball eraβ€”a time when offensive output was generally lower compared to later decades. Over the course of 21 games, Davis showcased his skills at the plate, finishing with a commendable batting average of .308. He recorded 8 hits, including 3 runs batted in, though he did not hit any home runs during his short stint in the league. Despite the limited duration of his career, Davis's performance highlighted his potential as a competent hitter, contributing to his team's offensive efforts during a challenging period for run production in baseball. His time in the majors may not have been extensive, but his .308 batting average remains a testament to his capability as a player in a highly competitive environment.
