Nearly two years after the Pirates chose him with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 MLB draft, catcher Henry Davis will make his much-anticipated major league debut on Monday night against the Cubs. But even if his eventual arrival to the big leagues seemed inevitable given his high pedigree, that doesn’t make the moment in which Davis learned his lifelong dream would soon become reality any less exciting.
Which is what makes it all the more special to see that moment caught on camera.
Davis was going over video down at Triple A when he was asked to grab a water bottle from inside a desk drawer. Little did the 23-year-old know, inside the drawer was also a note with a simple message: “Welcome to the Show.”
