Davis is coming off a breakout 2022 season in which he led Arizona with 18 home runs, sixth-most in school history, and drove in 54 ribs e while also playing stellar defense in left field.
Team USA’s training camp is set for June 30-July 4 in North Carolina, where a group of about 50 players will be pared down to 26. That team will represent the US at a tournament in the Netherlands July 9-15.
Davis was set to participate in the Cape Cod Summer League, where shortstop Nik McClaughry is also playing. He can still join his team after the USA stint is over.
Arizona has had 21 players play for Team USA including Daniel Susac last season.
