Note: Davis Shines, Mejia Struggles in AFL

The Arizona Fall League came to a close this weekend with the Peoria Javelinas defeating the Phoenix Desert Dogs 5-4 in the AFL title game.

Ike Davis finished the AFL season hitting .350 with two home runs and seven RBI, with a .422 on base percentage and a .525 slugging percentage.

…he showed real promise this fall although it is such a small sample…i think we will be seeing and hearing a lot about him during Spring Training and i expect him to start the season at Triple-A…

Meanwhile, the AFL season did not go quite as well for Jenrry Mejia, who struggled mightily in six starts going 1-3 with a 12.56 ERA in just 14 1/3 innings, but he had 16 strikeouts.

…it appears his problem this fall was control, as he walked 13 batters in those 14 innings…he did allow 25 hits but i’m sure he got into a lot of hitters counts which forced him to throw fastballs…i wouldn’t be too concerned at the moment with Mejia…its a small sampling and he is so young, and people were impressed with his fastball during those starts…
