According to MLB.com, Mets 1B prospect Ike Davis has been added to the USA’s roster for the World Cup, which will take place in Europe from Sept. 9-27.

The 22–year-old Davis is hitting .307 with a .386 OBP, 26 extra base hits and 41 RBI in 54 games since being promoted to Double-A.

Davis will also represent the Mets during this year’s Arizona Fall League.

In a recent chat for ESPN.com, Keith Law said he is looking forward to watching Davis in the AFL, as he has exceeded Law’s expectations by hitting well in Double-A this year.
