Davis made his professional debut,after rehabbing from his surgery,in June 2019 with the rookie–level Arizona League Reds,and was promoted to the Billings Mustangs during the season. [9] In 13 starts split between the two affiliates,he compiled a 1–3 record and 3.19 ERA with 35 strikeouts over 42+1⁄3 innings pitched. [10] Davis did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [11] He began 2021 with the High–A Dayton Dragons. [12]
On July 28, 2021, the Reds traded Davis and pitcher Case Williams to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for Mychal Givens. [13] He was assigned to the Spokane Indians, where he ended the season.
