Henry Davis, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2021 MLB Draft, is one step closer to the majors.
The Pittsburgh Pirates promoted the 23-year-old catcher, ranked the No. 3 prospect in their system by both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline, to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, a source confirmed to the Tribune-Review.
Davis had a .284/.433/.547 slash line with seven doubles, a triple, 10 home runs, 27 RBIs and seven stolen bases in 41 games at Double-A Altoona, with almost as many walks (32) as strikeouts (35). The 6-foot, 220-pounder played 30 games at catcher, seven in right field and four as designated hitter for the Curve.
After batting .207 with eight doubles, four homers and 18 RBIs in 31 games with Altoona last season, when he missed two months with a fractured left wrist, Davis wasn’t shy about expressing his displeasure when he was assigned to start the season at Double-A.
“I think everybody’s goal in our system is to be in Pittsburgh,” Davis said in April. “I don’t think anybody will be happy at any affiliate, you know what I mean? Our goal is to play in Pittsburgh. Our goal is to win in Pittsburgh. So, it’s OK to be (ticked) off, but it’s about how you channel that. If you let that control how you play and if you let that control your conduct, shame on you. But, if you say, ‘You know what? I’ll show them, and I’m going to work as hard as I can to be so good that there’s no choice but for me to be in Pittsburgh,’ I think that’s a great attitude.”
Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said the club wanted to separate Davis and Endy Rodriguez, who is ranked their No. 1 prospect by Baseball America and No. 2 by MLB Pipeline, so each could serve as his team’s primary catcher. Rodriguez is batting .247/.341/.396 with five doubles, three triples, four home runs and 16 RBIs in 38 games at Indianapolis, playing 32 games at catcher, four as DH and two at first base. Rodriguez also has experience playing second base and left field.
“We anticipate they will be on the same team again at some point,” Cherington said May 24. “We want to give both those guys every opportunity to develop as baseball players — catchers first — in a way that puts them in a position to make the biggest impact on the Pirates long-term, whenever that starts. … That’s the goal.”

INDIANAPOLIS — The downtown Indy building Claypool Court is getting a new retailer.
Officials hope major names like Burlington will bring more Hoosiers and visitors to Mile Square.

“There’s definitely a lot of higher-end restaurants right around this area, so I think bringing in some retail stores isn’t a bad idea,” Wesley Slaughter, who lives downtown, said.
The store will sit at Washington and Illinois Streets, an area Slaughter says will be a good fit because it’s a heavily trafficked intersection.

“I could see it being beneficial to get more people in the area because otherwise you have to drive outside of 465 just to hit one of those stores,” Slaughter said.
TJ Maxx has been a big part of the downtown retail scene for many years, but now there is some competition with the Burlington that’s going to be a couple of doors down.

“We’re excited anytime that there’s a new addition to the retail landscape here in downtown Indianapolis,” Taylor Schaffer, with Downtown Indy Inc., said.
Schaffer says this is just part of a pipeline of new projects and development coming to the area.

The space Burlington will take over is the lower level of Claypool Court. It used to be home to the Rhythm! Discovery Center.
The store is set to open this fall.

REALTOR Summer Hudson was always waiting for the perfect midcentury modern home to hit the market and lure her away from her beloved Irvington. On Hudson’s popular TikTok channel, Find a Lot to Love, she cooed over original 1960s woodwork and intact bathrooms for the 207,000 followers who enjoyed watching her walk through houses for sale in Central Indiana. But the eXp Realty agent’s own family needed a yard for their 5-year-old daughter more than she needed a pristine Avriel Shull A-frame, so she gave her husband, Ryan Sloan, one criterion: Find a house with the exact same layout as their 3,000-square-foot Irvington ranch, plus a yard, and she’d move.
Lo and behold, he did, in Crows Nest. The three-bed, two-bath house has a circular layout with semi–open concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces and, as a bonus, a pool on the half-acre lot. “I always said I’d never turn down a pool,” Hudson says. The home had been sitting on the market for a while because, in Hudson’s opinion, the listing for 1,800 square feet was misleading; the homeowners couldn’t include the 1,200-square-foot finished attic because the ceiling was too low. Additionally, the photos didn’t do the home justice. “From the outside, it looks tiny and bungalow-ish, but you don’t realize how deep it goes,” she says, adding that the images didn’t showcase the layout’s attractive flow, either. The couple got it under list price for $410,000, and Hudson, who uses the attic as her office, has no regrets—her dream midcentury home can wait. Downsizing forced the couple to purge, and they discovered the joys of a simplified lifestyle. “I’m actually spending more time with my kid out- side. That has been the most amazing part of all of this,” Hudson says.

Indianapolis man sentenced to 110 years for 2021 double homicide

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An Indianapolis man has been sentenced to 110 years in prison for his role in a north side shooting that resulted in the death of two men during a $20 marijuana deal in 2021.
The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office announced the sentencing of 21-year-old Camran Perry on Thursday, following a jury’s verdict after a two-day trial. In July, Perry was found guilty of two counts of murder and carrying a handgun without a license, a release said.
Andrew Jones, 21, and Blake Coffman, 20, died in a shooting about 6:45 p.m. Dec. 1, 2021, in the 8800 block of Westfield Way at the 9000 Westfield apartments. That’s just southeast of the intersection of East 91st Street and Westfield Boulevard.
Investigators interviewed a witness who reported hearing “three loud thumps” and seeing a man in a gray sweatsuit standing behind the victims’ vehicle before fleeing the scene. The witness, along with others, then approached the vehicle and called the police.
Two cellphones were recovered at the scene. Investigators obtained warrants for the phones, one of which belonged to Coffman.
According to a release, on Coffman’s phone, which was logged into his personal Instagram account, investigators found video chats and private messages indicating his intention to meet someone at the location of the shooting. The other user of this account deleted their account just hours after the incident. Digital forensics teams traced this account back to Perry.
Perry was taken into custody on Jan. 10. Initially, he denied knowing either of the victims, but later confessed to meeting up with them to make a purchase. Perry later admitted to engaging in a verbal altercation with Coffman and Jones, before shooting both men, police say.
Prosecutor Ryan Mears issued the following statement after the conviction:
“Young people having easy access to firearms leads to them making poor, split-second decisions that result in senseless deaths and tragedy,” stated Prosecutor Mears. “It is incumbent upon us to continue to empower young people with the tools to be mindful of the long-term consequences of gun violence in order to avoid tragedies like this.”
