Wade Allen Davis (born September 7, 1985) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Tampa Bay Rays and Kansas City Royals. Davis is a two-time MLB All-Star. He was a member of the Royals' 2015 World Series-winning team, and earned the Babe Ruth Award for his performance in the 2015 MLB postseason.

Born and raised in the small town of Lake Wales, Florida, Davis attended Lake Wales High School. After high school, Davis originally committed to attend the University of Florida, but later turned down the offer to play professional baseball.

Davis was drafted in the third round (75th overall) of the 2004 amateur entry draft by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. In the minors, he sported a 93–94 mph fastball, and an excellent spike curveball. Davis has expanded his repertoire to include a two-seam fastball, a slider, and a changeup.

Davis made his major league debut on September 6, 2009, against the Detroit Tigers. He earned a no-decision after pitching seven innings, allowing one run, with nine strikeouts.

Davis was the July 2010 AL Rookie Pitcher of the Month, after posting a 4–0 record with a 3.03 ERA in five starts.
