Biography:

Mason Davis resigned with KC on Febuary 22, 2019 for a second season in the Metro summer.  Davis joined the T-Bones on June 22nd of last season and would play in 63 games for Kansas City in 2018. He would finish second in home runs with nine and lead the club with 26 stolen bases. He would add another 31 RBIs and finish with a .313 batting average.  The leadoff man had a team high seven sacrifice bunts on the season. Davis was stellar with the glove for the T-Bones in 2018. He would play 62 games in the field, holding down the “hot corner” at third base. He would produce a .954 fielding percentage, making only five errors on the season.  

Davis had a flair for the dramatic in 2018. On July 17th, down to his last strike and with KC trailing in the top of the ninth at Cleburne, Davis took Jesus Sanchez deep to tie the game at seven apiece. It was his second homer of the night. KC would score four more, and an inning later went on to win 11-7, part of a three-game sweep of the Railroaders.  

Davis was at it again on August 8th at Sioux City. Kansas City was in danger of being swept in Iowa, but the T-Bones waited until the last inning to ruin the Sioux City Explorers party at Mercy Field at Lewis and Clark Park. Facing a 1-0 deficit, the T-Bones got their first pinch-hit RBI of the season when Adrian Nieto came off the bench to single, bringing the tying run home in the form of Alay Lago. Two batters later, Mason Davis drove a double to the left field corner off X's closer Eric Karch to drive in the go-ahead run and a 2-1 win.  

During the final two weeks of the season, Davis would come up big at the plate for the T-Bones as the club fought for the wild card playoff spot. On August 28th he would go 2-for-5 with a walk and score three runs in a 14-13 win over Sioux City at home.  Three nights later, he would reach base three times and score three runs, going 3-for-4 and driving in three in a 12-6 T-Bones win over Wichita. That win gave Kansas City a two and a half game lead with three games to play in the playoff race.   

On September 2nd at the Steel Yard in Gary, the T-Bones and RailCats were knotted up at two through a nip-and-tuck 16 innings. The T-Bones needed a win to clinch their first post season spot in 10 seasons. Davis would deliver in the 16th, crushing a go-ahead solo home run down the right field line to put Kansas City up 3-2 and stunning a raucous crowd of 4,980 that night.  

During the post season Davis was big in the American Association Championship Series Final opener. He would drive in two and score another in an 11-4 win for KC, and in game three he would go 2-for-4 with a walk, scoring a run and adding a stolen base in a 7-3 comeback win.
