Tyler Davis Signs with Southern Illinois Miners of Frontier League
Today, the Southern Illinois Miners announced the signing of former Wizards pitcher, Tyler Davis:
“I am very excited to add Tyler to our bullpen this season,” Miners Manager Mike Pinto said. “He has had great success along the way and has been a very effective ground ball pitcher. It really gives us another strong arm late in the game. This is a really nice signing for us.”
Davis was a 21st round draft choice (657th overall) of the San Diego Padres in 2007. Until last year’s 1-4 and 4.18 ERA stint with the Wizards, Davis seemed to have the right stuff. In 2007, he appeared in 16 games at the rookie league level and posted a 3-0 record with a 0.83 ERA. He was promoted to Fort Wayne and posted a 1.16 ERA over eight innings pitched in six games. He did get a short stint with Triple-A Portland before the end fo the season and was ultimate released by the Padres in November 2008.
The Miners play in the independant Frontier League.
