Talking Sport and Fitness with Zeke | Meet Austin Davis from Reading Fightins Phils
Reading Fightins Phils relief pitcher Austin Davis shares with Zeke his remarkable story about being a late bloomer who has evolved into a major league prospect. During his junior season at Scottsdale's Desert Mountain High School, he pitched just 1 1/3 innings. He got on the mound enough as a senior to show off a big fastball and earn a scholarship to Cal State-Bakersfield, but once there it was a struggle to earn mound time. Davis pitched just 26 1/3 innings as a freshman and couldn't make the team as a sophomore. Nevertheless, the Phillies saw potential in the 6-4 left-hander and three years after being drafted in the 12th round, Davis is beginning to realize it.
his season which has been split between Reading and Clearwater, he's started to create a buzz in the organization. Fightins pitching coach Steve Schrenk says the 24-year-old has a chance to help the big league club -- possibly soon -- because he is a left-hander who throws in the mid-90s and gets people out. Davis was pretty far off the Phillies' radar his first couple of seasons in the system. He went 5-6 and walked 44 batters over 95 2/3 innings in his first full pro season, in 2015 at Lakewood. Last season he didn't get on the mound until July because of a herniated disc, and finished an 11-game session at Clearwater with a 5.28 ERA.
Davis came into pro ball raw, and with only two pitches: a mid-90s fastball and a change-up. He has gradually continued to add to that, refining his control and adding a slider that has helped him take a huge step forward this year. His best asset, next to a fastball that touches 96 mph, is his mindset. He has a unique ability to not burden himself with self-imposed pressure and take each day as it comes. He said that comes from his deep inner faith and feeling less pressure because he was a late bloomer.

Golden Moments from 50 Phillies Seasons: Longest Game in Baseballtown History

LUCHADORES LOGO UNVEIL
The Reading Fightin Phils, in conjunction with Minor League Baseball, announced on Thursday the unveiling of a new alternate identity for the 2020 season, Los Luchadores de Reading. The brand new Luchadores logo pays tribute to Reading’s Hispanic/Latino culture and the city’s iconic elements.
Copa de la Diversión, or “Fun Cup,” is an ongoing event series throughout Minor League Baseball, specifically designed to embrace the culture and values that resonate most with participating teams’ local U.S. Hispanic/Latino communities.
In 2019, 403 Copa-inspired games took place throughout Minor League Baseball. These games on average welcomed 20% more attendees as compared to non-Copa games through September 1st of this year.
The new identity represents more than a Luchador. “Luchar” means “to fight for,” and “Luchador” translates to “fighter,” but it also signifies a specific type of fighter – a masked wrestler.
The mask logo pays tribute to some of the most notable elements of the city of Reading. Embodied in the Luchador’s mask is Reading’s Pagoda, surrounded by 23 sun rays representing the Latin American countries and Puerto Rico. Down the bridge of the nose is Reading’s Fire Tower. Home plate serves as the Luchador’s mouth, with FirstEnergy Stadium’s facade creating the upper lip. Below the chin are train tracks, symbolic of the historic Reading Railroad, and along the side are baseball seams, a nod to Baseballtown’s rich history.
The City of Reading has the largest Hispanic population in the state of Pennsylvania, by percentage of population. More than 64% of the City of Reading is made up of Hispanics/Latinos, or over 57,000 residents.
The R-Phils will play as Los Luchadores during select home games throughout the 2020 season. The new on-field caps and uniforms for Los Luchadores will be unveiled in March.
