Biography

George Davis was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the early 20th century, an era characterized by the transition from the deadball era to a more offensively driven game. Born in 1890, Davis began his Major League career on July 16, 1912, and concluded it on October 7, 1915. Over the course of his brief career, he compiled a win-loss record of 7-10 and posted an earned run average (ERA) of 4.48, reflecting the competitive nature of the league during his tenure. Davis was known for his ability to strike out batters, finishing his career with a total of 77 strikeouts.
