Brennen Davis has been on some kind of hot streak.

From May 10 to May 22, the Cubs outfield prospect put up out-of-this-world numbers in 11 games:

.438 batting average
.581 on-base percentage
1.125 slugging percentage
1.706 OPS
7 homers
15 RBI
16 runs

It was a great story within the Cubs organization for multiple reasons.

It’s always worth noting when a player in Triple-A is on a tear like that, especially when he is already on the 40-man roster.

But for Davis, it was also a return to form after multiple lost years due to injuries.

Davis has been considered by many to be the No. 1 prospect in the Cubs organization for several years. Marquee Sports Network’s Lance Brozdowski ranked Davis 1st on his top prospect list in both 2021 and 2022.

But injuries struck and limited Davis to only 53 games in 2022 and 71 contests in ’23. When he was on the field, he struggled — .180 AVG, .597 OPS in 2022 and a .201 AVG and .604 OPS in 2023.

“It’s just so nice to have him on the field,” Jed Hoyer said on May 21. “I mean, he’s had such really poor luck from a health standpoint. He’s been injured in a lot of different ways.

“I think there’s probably times he was playing but wasn’t playing totally healthy and I think that was reflected in his slug numbers and his performance. He’s healthy right now. It’s been a lot of fun checking the box scores, and I’m happy for him that he’s got going again.”

Davis got banged up again and was taken out of the Iowa Cubs game on May 22. But it was a minor issue and after a couple days off, he returned to the lineup Saturday, doubling home a run in his first trip to the plate. 

He caught up with Brozdowski in Iowa to talk about his hot streak and more.

“I dunno [what’s behind this hot stretch],” Davis said. “The season comes in waves and you just gotta take the good with the bad and try not to let either get too high or low.”

Davis acknowledged he’s had plenty of hot streaks in his career but this was certainly the most homers he has ever hit in a short time period.

Obviously health is a big factor but so are some of the swing adjustments Davis has made with the Cubs coaches.

“I did a lot of work with [big-league hitting coach] Dustin Kelly and my guy back home and a bunch of the hitting guys around the Cubs organization,” Davis told Brozdowski. “We made some adjustments. It was time to make a change and I think it’s paying off.”

Davis is still only 24 and while he won’t continue to post a slugging percentage over 1.100 forever, he has the skillset and the pedigree to potentially make an impact in Chicago this summer.

Beyond the Cubs organization, Davis drew acclaim as a top prospect in all of baseball, ranking as high as No. 15 on MLB.com’s list and No. 16 on Baseball America’s list prior to the 2022 season.
