Isaac Benjamin "Ike" Davis (born March 22, 1987) is a Major League Baseball first baseman for the New York Mets.

Early years

Davis was born in Edina, Minnesota to Millie Davis and former major league pitcher Ron Davis. Davis' mother is Jewish and several of her family members from Lithuania were killed in the Holocaust. Davis attended Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he won three state titles (2003–05).

In 2003, he pitched for the U.S. Youth National Team in international play, as they won the gold medal in the International Baseball Federation XI "AA" World Youth Championships. In 2004, he was one of 40 players from across the country chosen to play in the AFLAC All-American High School Baseball Classic. He won the MVP Award for the game, hitting the go-ahead home run for his team.

College career

Davis attended Arizona State University and played pitcher, first base, and corner outfield. In 2006 he was named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and named to the All-Conference Team, becoming the first freshman ever to lead the Pac-10 in RBIs during the regular season as he hit .329 with 65 RBIs in 240 at bats. He also received First Team Freshman All-American honors. He was a three-time First Team All-Pac-10 selection and earned Third Team All-American honors during his sophomore season before becoming a unanimous First Team All-American during his junior year. He hit .353 in his college career, totaling 244 hits, 33 homers and 69 doubles. The 69 doubles is the fifth-most in school history.

In addition to playing the outfield and first base, Davis also pitched for the Sun Devils. He began his career as the Friday night starter and ended it as the Sun Devils closer, totaling a 7–5 mark with four saves and 78 strikeouts in his career.

Davis won the On Deck Circle Most Valuable Player Award in 2008, was a part of two Pac-10 Championship teams and went to the College World Series in 2007. He was also named to the ASU All-Decade team.

Professional career

Minor leagues

Davis was the 18th player taken in the first round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, chosen by the New York Mets as compensation for the Mets' loss of Tom Glavine to the Atlanta Braves in free agency. He was drafted for his power bat. After being selected, Davis was assigned to the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones. In 2009, Davis started the year with the St. Lucie Mets. He hit .288 with seven home runs in 59 games. He was then promoted to Double-A Binghamton Mets. He finished the season in Binghamton hitting .309 with 13 home runs and 41 RBIs. After the season the Mets assigned him to the Surprise Rafters of the Arizona Fall League.

Davis participated in Spring Training with the Mets, and was assigned to minor league camp prior to the start of the season. He was assigned to the Buffalo Bisons, the Mets' AAA affiliate. Davis batted .364 with 2 home runs in 10 games with the Bisons.

Major leagues

The Mets purchased Davis's minor league contract on April 19, 2010; Tobi Stoner was optioned down to Buffalo to make room for Davis on the major league roster. Davis made his debut at Citi Field on April 19 against the Chicago Cubs and singled in his first at bat. His first home run was hit on April 23 against the Atlanta Braves and traveled 450' onto Shea Bridge at Citi Field. He had his first multi home run game on May 7, 2010.
