ELK GROVE, CA (MPG) - If you’ve followed his career while at Franklin High School, University of Arizona and now in the minor leagues with the St. Louis Cardinals organization, you’ve seen how sweet of a left-handed swing Chase Davis has.

Spring Training is in full effect with Opening Day just around the corner and Davis has recently been on many peoples’ radars.

When you think of left-handed swings, many think of Ken Griffey Jr., while if you grew up watching baseball in the 2000s, you might think of Robinson Cano. There’s one swing though that looks almost exactly like Davis’, which is the sweet swing of the all-star Venezuelan slugger from the Colorado Rockies and Athletics organizations, Carlos Gonzalez. 

Many baseball fans across social media have pointed out this similarity during his days as a Wildcat in Arizona.

In a recent social media post and segment on MLB Network, analysts highlighted Davis and his swings similarity to Gonzalez’s as they captioned it, “Chase Davis or Carlos Gonzalez? Either way it’s a sweet swing from the left side.”

“I started watching him swing the bat and I was like ‘He looks like Carlos Gonzalez’ and he (Davis) said ‘Yeah, I used to watch him and favor him a little bit,’” former big leaguer and MLB Network analyst, Harold Reynolds said. 

Reynolds went on to say that he’s going to have a chance to take off, he’s one of the up-and-coming hitters and that he’ll move swiftly through the St. Louis Cardinals organization. 

A graduate from Franklin High School in 2020 following a COVD-19 shortened season. He was a first-round pick by St. Louis in 2023 and Davis finished last season with the Springfield Cardinals, organization’s Double-A affiliate.

In 28 at-bats in Springfield, Davis notched seven hits including a home run with four RBIs to end his 2024 season. 

For the second consecutive year, Davis was named to the Cardinals’ Spring Breakout roster, a four day showcase of the future of baseball which made its debut during last year's spring training. 

Davis ranks at No. 10 among the Cardinals top prospects and the top outfield prospect. 

The showcase begins this Friday with the Cardinals taking on the Miami Marlins at 9:10 a.m. where you can watch Davis in action.
