Mississippi State’s high-leverage bullpen hammer with draft-day polish
In the 2026 season, Ben Davis established himself as Mississippi State’s most trusted late-inning arm, finishing with 26 relief appearances, 5 saves, 57 strikeouts and a 3.64 ERA before being drafted by the Rockies; he’s a 6-foot-4, 230-pound righty who attacks with sinker-slider power and showed the poise to handle pressure spots. The caveat: he dealt with back tightness in May 2026, so durability matters, but his mix of strike-throwing, toughness and leverage-friendly command makes him the kind of reliever contenders love.
