Joey Davis joins the Tom Sox as Hitting Coach after a decades-long career as an MLB scout. A two-time World Series champion, Davis scouted for the Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, and Atlanta Braves, signing players including Rhys Hoskins and ​Erik Miller. He was selected as the Phillies’ Dallas Green Award winner in 2017, awarded to a Phillies scout who “best exemplifies the Phillies’ standard for scouting while demonstrating the same loyalty, work ethic, dedication and passion as the award’s namesake.”

The 2025 summer will mark a new chapter in Davis’s career as he makes his return to coaching. Prior to scouting full-time, Davis coached at Berry College, St. Leo College, and Western Kentucky before spending three partial seasons as a minor league coach in the Blue Jays and Phillies organizations.

“Coaching has always been my first love”, Davis said. “After 25 years in the scouting cycle, I missed the camaraderie and hands-on aspect; helping the kids and watching them receive the awards and accomplishments. It’s a big responsibility and I’m looking forward to it.”

“Joey has been in the game for a very long time, and his résumé is really, really strong,” said Tomlin. “After we talked, I knew that hiring him was a no-doubter, and we were lucky to land him before somebody else did. The guys are going to love talking to and learning from him and his wealth of knowledge, and I’m looking forward to learning some things from him as well.”

Davis is a graduate of Ohio Dominican University and currently resides in Laguna Niguel, California. He has one daughter, Kaley.
