About Chris Davis (baseball)
- Christopher Lyn Davis (born March 17, 1986), nicknamed "Crush Davis", is an American professional baseball first baseman for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB).
- Davis played in MLB for the Texas Rangers from 2008 until being traded to the Baltimore Orioles in 2011.
- He bats left-handed and throws right-handed.
- While primarily a first baseman throughout his career, Davis has also been a designated hitter, third baseman, and outfielder. Davis attended Navarro Junior College and was selected by the Rangers in the fifth round of the 2006 MLB draft.
- He ascended quickly through the Rangers' minor league system, getting named their Minor League Player of the Year in 2007.
- He was called up in the middle of 2008 and had a strong start to his major league career.
- He was the Rangers' starting first baseman for 92 games in 2009 and hit 21 home runs, but a low batting average and his tendency to strike out left the Rangers dissatisfied with him.
- Because of this, the Rangers sent Davis back and forth between the minors and the majors over the next two years and left him off their playoff roster in 2010.
- On July 30, 2011, they traded him to the Orioles. Davis appeared in 31 games for the Orioles in 2011.
- In the lineup full-time in 2012, he hit 33 home runs while batting .270 and helping the Orioles reach the playoffs for the first time since 1997.
- In 2013, his 53 home runs led all MLB players and set a new Orioles single-season franchise record.
- Davis also had 138 runs batted in (RBIs), was selected to the All-Star Game, and finished third in American League Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) voting. From 2015 through 2018, Davis led all major league players in strikeouts-per-at-bat.
- In 2018, he set the MLB record for the lowest batting average ever for a qualified player when he batted .168.
- In 2019, he set the MLB record for the most consecutive at bats by a position player without a hit, going 0-for-54.
