He was a right-handed pitcher who appeared in one season (1959) and 11 games pitched in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Tigers.

A Detroit native, he stood 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and weighed 180 pounds (82 kg) during his pro career.

Davie signed with the Tigers in 1952, but it would take him seven years (including two in military service) to reach the big league level.

He made the 1959 Tiger roster out of spring training and pitched effectively in relief during April, earning him his first starting pitcher assignment on May 2 against the Washington Senators at Briggs Stadium.

But after a poor start against the Boston Red Sox on June 9, Davie was sent back to the Triple-A Charleston Senators and never returned to the Tigers.
