This picture is the only time Eric Davis was caught with his eyes closed. His defense was every bit as electric as his bat. In center field for the Reds, he played with fearless intensity, explosive speed, and a cannon arm that made runners think twice. Davis didn’t just track balls, he attacked them, taking away hits in the gaps and turning routine singles into outs with aggressive routes and quick releases. He brought a wide receiver’s mentality to the outfield, changing games with momentum-shifting catches and throws, and setting a tone that defense mattered just as much as power in Cincinnati.
