Roberson graduate Braxton Davidson is an outfielder for the Single-A Carolina Mudcats.
The Raleigh News & Observer has published an in-depth piece looking at the third year of Roberson alum Braxton Davidson’s professional baseball career:
The 2014 first-round pick of the Atlanta Braves, drafted as a power hitter after a robust tenure at TC Roberson High in Asheville, has progressed to the Advanced-A level but hasn’t fully lived up to expectations along the way.
In the heat of summer with the Mudcats, however, Davidson, 20, has started to find his hitting rhythm — and a strong desire to shake off the growing pressure.
“Obviously with the first-round name under your name, they want you to succeed, and I feel like I’ve lived through the pressure throughout my whole life,” he said. “I’m trying to just be consistent and prove that I am a worthy first-round pick.”
