The Story of the Autograph
Zach Davies is a right-handed starting pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. Originally selected by the Orioles in 2011, he was traded to the Brewers in 2015 and made his first major league appearance shortly after that.
Zach is from Arizona and was a middle infielder until his junior year in high school. He started pitching and the Orioles selected him in the 26th round of the MLB Draft. He had already committed to Arizona State but took the $575,000 signing bonus and was off to play in the Orioles organization. He made his way up through the minors and then in 2015 he appeared in the All-Star Futures Game. The Orioles would trade him to the Brewers for Gerardo Parra at the end of July that year. Then he made his debut as a September call-up for the Brew Crew.
He went 3-2 with a 3.71 ERA in his first 6 appearances in 2015. In 2016 he followed that up with an 11-7 effort in 28 appearances with a 3.97 ERA and 135 strikeouts. His 2017 numbers actually surprised me. When I saw from his 2018 Topps card that he was among the leaders in wins I couldn’t believe I didn’t know that. I saw him pitch against the Mets once and he seemed fine, but didn’t seem like the league leader type. But the Brewers were a pretty good team behind him last year and he too advantage. He actually started the most games of anyone in the NL last year.
I would imagine he has a chance to be pretty good again this year given the Brewers have improved the line up this year.
The Score on Zach Davies – 7.5
Zach has a nice little loopy autograph. I love how the “Z” comes out. From what I’ve seen he’s pretty consistent with his signature and it always seems to come out really well. My only nitpick is that I love to have a signature bigger, but with something this clean I can’t complain too much. This size marker is pretty good, but it might have come out a little better if it were a little thicker.
Thanks Mr. Davies! I’m giving these a 7.5.
