Third baseman J.D. Davis, Corpus Christi’s franchise leader with 44 career home runs, heads the contingent of 11 Hooks alums who made their big-league debuts in 2017. Davis opened 2017 with Corpus Christi, batting .279 with 18 doubles, 21 homers and 60 RBIs in 87 games. At the time of his July promotion to Triple-A Fresno, the 24-year-old slugger ranked among Texas League leaders in dingers (1st), total bases (179, 1st), extra-base hits (39, 1st), slugging percentage (.510, 3rd) and RBIs (4th). He was named the circuit’s player of the month for June. A TL Mid-and-Postseason All-Star, Davis belted five homers and drove in 18 runs over a 16-game stint with the Grizzlies before making his Major League debut August 5 at Minute Maid Park. The Elk Grove, Calif., native went deep four times in 24 assignments for the World Series champion Astros. Outfielder Derek Fisher, right-handed pitchers Francis Martes and Jordan Jankowski, and southpaw Reymin Guduan made the jump from Triple-A Fresno to Houston last season. Fisher, hit .318 with 26 doubles, 21 home runs, 66 RBIs, 16 steals and a .967 on-base-plus-slugging percentage in 84 Pacific Coast League assignments. The Lebanon, Pa., native started the 2017 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game in left field, and was a PCL Midseason and Postseason All-Star. He made his MLB debut June 14 at Minute Maid Park, going 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and two RBIs vs. Texas. Fisher, who homered twice in his first five games for the Astros, had two stints with Houston during the regular season, playing a total of 53 contests. The former first-rounder appeared in five postseason games, and accounted for the winning run in Game 5 of the World Series, scoring from second as a pinch runner on Alex Bregman’s 10th-inning walk-off single. Martes made eight starts for Fresno before debuting with Houston on June 9 vs. Los Angeles (AL). In his next assignment, a June 14 start opposite the Rangers, the hard-throwing Dominican fired five innings of one-run ball and struck out seven to earn the victory. Martes won the next time out, spreading three runs over 5 2/3 innings June 20 at Oakland. In 32 appearances (4 starts) for Houston, he went 5-2 and recorded 69 strikeouts over 54 1/3 frames.
