ABOUT
Louisiana-Lafayette-bound OF Mihyia Davis is one of those rare players that combines speed, power and finesse, offense and defense; basically, the total package.
Davis, #11 in the 2022 Extra Elite 100, is a major reason why Scott Smith’s Texas Bombers Gold are a major threat to contend for a title in every event they are entered in.
Texas-bound IF Leighann Goode, #17 in the 2022 Extra Elite 100, considers Davis one of her best friends on the Bombers.
“Mihyia is a beast on the field, one of the top outfielders in the country with ridiculous range to go with a great arm, Goode said. “The speed she has is unmatched. If you get caught unfocused, she will take the next base. She has potential to hit a ball over the center-field fence or lay a bunt down. What makes Mihyia unique is her ability to stand out and make the other team question what they need to do to get her out. She’s a great player with an even better mental game.”
Texas A&M-bound OF Keely Williams, #23 in the 2022 Extra Elite 100, is blinded by Davis’ speed.
“Mihyia’s speed on the bases makes her a threat to those defending her” said Williams, who plays with Davis on the Bombers. “She can bunt for a base hit or slap for power to hit the ball out the park. Also, as an outfielder, by using her speed she can get to any ball hit in her vicinity. Combining all those skills, she’s one of the best slappers and outfielders in the game.”
