He was nicknamed "Big Ben", during his time with San Diego, because of his towering presence, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall, weighing 195 pounds (88 kg).

He currently works as a color commentator for the Philadelphia Phillies and lives with his wife, two sons, and two daughters in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Davis was ranked as the second-best prospect in the 1995 draft, by Baseball America; that same publication tabbed him as being the Best Defensive Catcher and the high school player closest to the majors.

While at Malvern Prep, Davis also played on the basketball team, where he competed against fellow Main Line-prodigy Kobe Bryant, (then) of Lower Merion High School.

[3] Davis was a first-round pick, second overall, in the 1995 Major League Baseball draft, by the San Diego Padres, out of Malvern Preparatory School.

[4] Davis was named to the Pioneer League All-Star team, in his first professional season, with the Advanced-Rookie Idaho Falls Braves, in 1995.

In 1996, Davis was limited to designated hitter duties, for the first month of the season, with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, due to a sore right elbow.

He posted his first career four-hit game, on September 15, against the Atlanta Braves, including a solo home run off John Smoltz.

After Davis reached base, many of the Diamondbacks' players shouted obscenities at him for supposedly breaking baseball's unwritten rules.

[5][6] In December 2001, Davis was traded, along with Wascar Serrano and Alex Arias, to the Seattle Mariners, in exchange for Brett Tomko, Tom Lampkin, and Ramón Vázquez.

On June 27, 2004, Davis was once again traded, this time from the Mariners to the Chicago White Sox with Freddy García, in exchange for catcher Miguel Olivo, Mike Morse, and Jeremy Reed.

Davis appeared in just ten games with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights, before being placed on the disabled list, with a fractured finger, on his right hand.

In May 2007, he joined the independent Camden Riversharks and played well enough that he was signed to a minor league contract by the Los Angeles Dodgers, in June.

After being released by Baltimore, Davis returned to the River Sharks, as a pitcher, in an attempt to make a comeback that might once again result in a Major League hitch.

Davis made his Reds' organization pitching debut on April 23, against the Charlotte Stone Crabs, tossing a scoreless inning, allowing no hits, and striking out one.
