Davis Sharpe
RHP 6-4 210 Clemson
Tiger Net - Talented two-way player who was in the weekend rotation during the entire 2019 season and was a contributor at the plate, primarily as the designated hitter … preseason third-team All-American by Perfect Game … preseason first-team All-ACC by Perfect Game … No. 29 sophomore in the nation in the preseason by Perfect Game … No. 10 ACC prospect for the 2021 draft in the preseason by Baseball America … No. 25 ACC prospect for the 2021 draft in the preseason by D1Baseball.
Perfect Game - Davis Sharpe is a 2018 RHP/3B with a 6-4 200 lb. frame from Dacula, GA who attends Mill Creek HS. Long and lanky athletic build, some present strength more to come. Creates good angle to the plate from a 3/4's arm slot, moderate energy at release. Steady fastball up to 90 mph, good running and sinking life at times. Curveball is tight and sharp at times, does a nice job of throwing his curveball for strikes. Curveball is a potential plus pitch and there is projection in his velocity. Right handed hitter, hanging front leg load, deep barred load, pull and lift approach, has plenty of bat speed and gets the ball in the air, will have two-way college potential.

18. Davis Sharpe, OF/RHP, Clemson
A two-way prospect, Davis Sharpe showed tremendous growth both on the mound and at the plate in 2020. Sharpe hit four dingers in just 13 non-conference games while slashing .311/.622/1.058. On the mound he was more hittable but showed clear signs of better control and a huge improvement in velocity from the year prior (from sitting high 80s in 2019 and 92 in 2020). Sharpe has good size and clear tools. It’s a matter of him being able to refine his game enough to make the case to have future as a two-way player, or pick a path as only a hitter or pitcher.
Sharpe seems like a talent but with an underpowered FB, and good bat, almost sounds like a Tyler Pill.
