Davis played 26 games in the outfield, and spent the rest of his playing time pinch hitting. For the majority of his career, Davis played in Minor League Baseball (MiLB). He made his professional debut with the Class-B High Point-Thomasville Hi-Toms in 1958. Davis then moved-up the organization, making stops at the Class-A Williamsport Grays (1959) and the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons (1960–1962) until he was called up to the major league Philadelphia Phillies in 1962. After playing his only season in MLB, Davis continued to play in the minor leagues with the Triple-A Atlanta Crackers of the St. Louis Cardinals organization (1963); the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, this time affiliated with the New York Mets (1963); the Triple-A Tacoma Giants in the San Francisco Giants organization (1963); the Triple-A Denver Bears in the Milwaukee Braves organization (1964); and the Triple-A Oklahoma City 89ers, and the Double-A San Antonio Bullets in the Houston Colt .45s organization (1964).
