Ted Davidson pitched in 114 major league games from 1965 to 1968, posting a career ERA of 3.69 and striking out 124 batters. A left-handed reliever with a deceptive delivery, Davidson debuted with the Reds in style, striking out four Astros in 2.2 scoreless innings and inducing a double play from future Hall of Famer Joe Morgan—the first batter he faced in his career. His best season came in 1966, when he recorded a 3.90 ERA over 54 relief appearances, 21 games finished, and four hard-earned saves. The Reds expected him to take on a larger role in 1967, but a domestic shooting incident that spring left him seriously wounded and delayed his return until June. He was traded to the Atlanta Braves in June 1968 and made his final MLB appearance on July 28. Though his career was brief, Davidson’s resilience and early promise remain part of baseball’s complex tapestry.
