Ike Davis to Play for USA

Ike Davis has been selected to be on the USA roster for the World Cup in Europe that will be starting September 9th and finishing the 27th. He is also scheduled to be one of the Mets participants in the Arizona Fall League. Davis has progress very well this year and at excelled at the AA with Binghamton since being promoted.

Since being promoted he has hit .307 avg, .386 obp, .554 slg with 12HR, 41RBI, and 14 2b's. The total of his numbers from A and AA are .297, .381, .519 with 19HR, 69RBI, and 31 2b's. He has also hit .271 against lefties with a .471 slg, and .333 with runners on and a .545 slg.

Ike has played very well this year and definitely excited expectations after how poorly he did last year. The Mets shouldn't rush him because he is only 22 but if he can hit, and continues to prove so I expect to see him at Citi Field at sometimes next year.
