What Happened to Chris Davis? | Stat Stories

- Chris Davis has had a couple of rough seasons. And I mean really rough. Like he hasn't been a valuable player since 2016. But how did this former home run leader sink so low?
In this video, I look at what Chris Davis has struggled with the most on the field (hint: it's strikeouts). I examine why he may be struggling and how he has attempted to adjust.

So I said that Davis's batting average against fastballs was good, but I meant to say that it was good in comparison to his overall batting average. In no world is a .195 average against fastballs good lol
You also said he had the lowest batting average ever in the modern era with .168, when 2011 Adam Dunn hit .159
Do Joe Charboneau
Reserved Hogs minimum ABs probably
@@reservedhogs4735 Adam Dunn had .159 avg on 496 plate appearances. Sadly, a players has to have a minimum of 502 plate appearances to qualify for batting title. So he had 6 plate appearances too short whereas Chris Davis exceeded 502 PAs
CYLENTKILLS KUO DESTINY 1980 AL Rookie of the Year
Keon Broxton is the player with the 45.6% k rate and I have to say that is insane
We may see someone with a 50% k rate in the next few seasons!
Both on the Orioles that season
If you HAD to start one of them for 162 games, which one would you choose 😂 (As an O's fan, I've sadly seen both start😭)
Orioles1019 any random minor leaguer > 2019 Keon Broxton & 2019 Chris Davis
I was gonna say Dan Uggla
Hi. Orioles fan here. His only value the last 2 years has been his fielding. He is above average at first base and makes some great plays. Just saying, I think he’s better at fielding than you’re giving him credit for
MatthewRein1 very true he is a great fielder!
@@teamdirt4587 wat? he has never been above average in his career. He has been below average more often than not.
www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/davisch02-field.shtml
The reason he’s been sucking is because mlb took his medicine away for his adhd
@@elGringo69 I don't know. I am also from Baltimore and his fielding is constantly praised. It may just be that there isn't much else to complement him for.
Personally Chris Davis is someone who I would really like to see do well again. Also watching him last I still think he's a little bit unlucky from the amount of times he's hit a rocket just right at somebody.
It would be amazing to see him win comeback player of the year. I'll be rooting for him!
I think he will not be good this year but have a positive war, possibly even as high as a 1.6
He got off the drugs and thats why he fell off. More accurate to watch his rise AND decline. He got off the riddlin or whatever it was and started the sucking....oriole fan here from baltimore. Baltimore been full of druggies...:/ i dont watch baseball anymore. Long live STRATOMATIC baseball!!!
@@joegibbs1454 send your team back to st. Louis. We miss the Brownies
@@daltonfarris we get the yankees! :D
Chris Davis is a very Good fielder at first he’s been finalists for gold gloves a few times
Team Dirt I agree he is above average at least. Let’s Go O’s
agreed
Both y’all buggin I still think he’s good tho
Yeah he’s amazing fielder
21 million this season and 23 next season for a good fielder ...LOL
As someone who watched the Orioles everyday during his peak, I feel like this video gives him alittle injustice to being slow and bad defensively. He might be slow compared to base stealers but he’s probably the fastest 1b out there and he hustles on every groundball and you can’t say that for many players let alone a 1b and he was a rock at 1st. Not to mention him filling in for manny and Markakis when they were injured in 2012 and 2014. He played very good in positions he wasn’t familiar with. And who could forget him getting the win in Boston? He’s a super nice dude and I hope he can somehow get a fresh start with another team and play good again.
I almost enjoy these videos as much as Foolish Baseball videos and he has almost 100k subscribers and you also put out much more content. You definitely got a subscriber. Not going to be surprised if you become as popular as him
I appreciate that! Foolish has some great stuff. It's longer and flashier than mine so I post shorter weekly videos to be different 👍
@@outtaherebaseball3205 I like your style. You and Foolish are my two favorite baseball channels.
We need them to collab✌️
Maybe an Eric Thames vid? From bum to korean celebrity to solid starter
He's had quite the journey that's for sure! I'd love to cover him and some of the other players who excelled overseas
Tony Snell how was he a bum?
I think he had a period where he did really poorly
He then went to Korea and raked. After that, he came back to the majors and he is a solid player. Hate to see him leave the brew crew
I honestly truly feel bad for this guy, imagine going from one of the most lethal hitters in the game to arguably the worst in just a couple of seasons. Nobody deserves that but the Altuve.
Altuve Is honestly a better hitter without the cheating tho.
I'm here before this channel becomes huge!
May he rest in peace.
His sad decline fits with your brand nicely
Can you do a video on the Rangers, specifically how they retooled their pitching staff and are looking to pair it with their young improving core? I know I already asked this but imma be persistent cause I enjoy the way you present this kind of information
The fact that CD is hitting less pull and going towards the middle.....
I guess that could be the avg speed of fastball going up every year.... I mean, he's not hitting anything non-fastball anyways, so let's just look at FB.
So, balls comes in faster, and bat catches it not as extended. Which means balls fly more to the middle and weaker.... Kind of explains all the decline of exit velocity and falling to the middle more.
Me : clicks on video on favorite player ( not really )
Outta Here ⚾️: Shows me wins above replacement of Cris Davis
Me : Seen enough
I went to Camden yards to watch him play in 2015. Glad I got to see his best years.
There's a lot of young talented players waiting for a chance, people has to understand when it is over.
One of the greatest humans to ever live. So hard watching him struggle through this decline.
The 2 biggest impacts on CD’s decline have been MLB taking away his exception for his ADHD medication and the shift. His exception expired in 2015 and we’ve seen what’s happened. Defense’s have put the shift on him over 90% of the time since 2016 as well. It’s easy to say “well he should just adjust and hit the ball to the opposite field”. It’s not that simple. I’ve never liked the shift. I think it takes away from the integrity of the game. MLB is finally looking into it now and I think we may see it banned at all levels by 2023-2024. Looks like it may be implemented in MiLB by next year.
The last thing I want to say about CD is he is a great guy. He’s great to the fans and he and his wife do a lot for the University of Maryland Children’s Hospital in Baltimore. Even amid his struggles, he’s a class act.
I think what happened to him was tragic! I hate to see this happen to anyone. Id like to see him play well again.
@@robertj.przybylski3866 I think the Orioles paid out Jones as long as he was good..... Yes if that money could have been given to Machado that would have been great.... I think the Orioles are still a bad team regardless right now though. And the Orioles are finally doing things the right way to build a real contender and hopefully we'll be able to supplement a real contender if these young guys come up and do their thing
Cam someone explain the difference between a offspeed pitch and breaking ball are they not the same thing ?
He is actually hitting well in spring training this year lol
He is on the record saying he has gained his strength back. We shall see.
I'd love to see it happen!
.115 BA lol
"I hope he comes back strong in 2020"
.115/.164/.173
CD is a good fielding 1B. He was robbed of a Gold Glove a few seasons ago by Moreland. He’s been a finalist another time as well. He’s made more than a few “gem” plays out there.
2021 provided there's no delay this time I think will be better for Davis. Corona ruined his 2020 year, the delay messed him up because heading into the normal 2020 schedule, he was on fire.
No he wasn't.....he sucks he will always suck forever now....there is no getting better .....do u watch the same Orioles games as me my friend?
@@johndavies5582 Uh no he doesn't suck...
Can you do a video on the art of pitching to players like trout,yelich,acuna,,lamahieu (high contact with power and plate discipline)
I would like to point out that Chris David had a higher Era+ in 2019 than ops+. I mean he’s got a good slider and a split change sooooo, maybe we convert him to the o’s closing pitch?
Mopac 82 would be the O’s best pitcher outside of John Means 😂😂
Honestly, why not?
As a Jays fan who can’t stand Baltimore, I want to see Chris Davis hit 40 homeruns next season and hit for a good average
What happened to the 2018 DBacks, so much promise lead the division for so long, collapsed, and which lead to giving up Goldy, Pollock, Corbin, and Greinke
Could you do Shelby Miller by chance? I think it would be an interesting video.
He was crushing it this spring, damn COVID 😢
Dude was batting over .700 in spring training
And he is still terrible.
Holy shit 45% K rate 👀 I don’t wanna be alive when 50% is ok.
To me, this just sounds like he realized his bat speed wasn't there anymore to catch up to velocity, so he was trying to just let more pitches go by and hope for more walks as a lot of more veteran players do, but his historically bad K rate poisoned that, as pitchers just threw strikes at him.
Just a thought with what I've heard with the reason other veteran players have a spike in walk rate late in their careers.
The reason his avg exit velocity has gone down is because his barrel % and hard hit % went down. Look at his home runs from the past couple years, he still hits nukes he’s just not squaring it up enough and it negatively impacted those metrics
A few years ago the MLB banned adderall and I believe he was on it. Wonder if that has caused him to somehow be less aggressive on pitches in the zone.
He got a waiver. I don't think it has anything to do with the Adderall.
Do this same type of video on Ketle Marte, except how he became a God
I came really close to making one on him but opted for Xander Bogaerts in the end. I'll get around to making one on Marte eventually!
Outta Here Baseball Ohhhhh let’s see it soon please!
Chris Davis never understood Chris Davis. I'm in B'MORE watched almost every game of his prime in and out. He was the greatest hitter when he just made Contact. He would slap base hits and homeruns to opposite field like it was nothing. His swing was effortless and he didn't swing like he was trying to hit hr. His power just carried balls out easily in Camden. He mentality started swinging for fences off and on
What’re you talking about, Chris Davis is OBVIOUSLY the greatest of all time.
haha neat, this explains a lot. As far as the 45% K rate in 2019 goes, was that Chris Owings? I'm a Red Sox fan and I remember that he was mashing the ball in Pawtucket but couldn't hit it in the MLB.
Owings is a really good guess! 39.8% in 196 PA. But the mystery player was actually on the Orioles for a bit this season with Davis
Outta Here Baseball i’m late, but is it Keon Broxton??
Yes it is! Poor guy struck out almost half the time last season
You gotta feel bad for the man but he gon keep on grindin
What happened to Chris Archer? How did his great pitching seasons with the Rays turned up to be deja vu with the Pirates?
Chris Davis with a .479 BA and 3 homers in spring 😳
What happened to Ichiro Suzuki?
I'm a yankees fan, but the O's are easily my next favorite team. I have a dream that he will bounce back and the O's will be great again soon.
Is the 45% strikeout guy Jesus Aguilar?
Keon Broxton!
Can y’all do a stats story about Barry Zito?
I've seen a few people suggest him so he's on my idea list!
@@outtaherebaseball3205 Thank you!!!
Orioles place Chris Davis on the 60-day injury list
Can you do a video on Blake Snell ?
I feel like people have forgotten about his great 2018 season already since he was injured this year. I'll add him to my list!
Good man, good memories, bad contract.
He’s a good fielder man
I still remember him competing with Miggy.
Adderall is the sole reason he could hit 53 HR's in 2013 and 47 HR's in 2015, and have an okay batting average those years. When the MLB told him he couldn't use adderall anymore while playing, his stats, unsurprisingly, took a dramatic shift downward. In other words, Chris Davis isn't that good and belongs in the minors. Unfortunately, the GM of the Orioles didn't see this and signed Davis to an outrageous contract. The Orioles have a bad habit of signing bad players that got lucky one season.
Do they? And don't say Albert Belle because he was an established Major League All-Star. .... Just with injuries didn't work out with the Orioles..... The Orioles haven't spent that much money on premium talent and a long time..... I don't recall any super long huge deals they have been on the hook for of guys that had one good year and cashed out like Davis TBH
I think Adam Jones was worth his deal same with tejada deal.....maybe not the second palmerio deal but he wasnt there long....the sosa deal .....but he was on the books very long
He actually lost his exemption for adderall in 2014 and switched to Vyvanse for the 2015 season when as you pointed out, he hit 47 HRs and generally got back on track. Blaming things like that is a simple answer and we as humans like things to be simple, but in this case that doesn’t actually seem to be the answer
Topic: will there ever be another 300 win pitcher? Who has the best chance of current players?
ADHD, Adderall suspension
That's what I was going to say
It’s not the suspension. It’s the continued use. He was given back the expedition, and I presume he’s been taking them since.
He is a good fielder so
do sonny gray going from the yankees to the reds
Tbh I hope Chris Davis gets his ability back so he can be able to hit a baseball
Big suggestion from me and most Brewers fans. What happened to Matt Garza? Or Yovanni Gallardo?
As an Orioles fan who was extremely disappointed in Gallardo in 2016, I second this...
What were Rob Deer's strikeout rates?
Just looked it up. He was around 30% every season but had 38% in 187 plate appearances in 1985. And of course strikeouts weren't as common then!
@@outtaherebaseball3205 thanks! He was good at striking out, hitting homeruns and walked a bit. I think he had a batting average under 200 for batters eligible for the batting title.
@@outtaherebaseball3205 thanks for the reply!
They took away his adderal and he couldn’t make contact any more
You should do a Buster Posey decline
Thats based on a hip injury
Can u do a video on pete Alonso
I'll add him to my ideas list!
I think this would work really good with Kyle Seager
Austin riley of the Atlanta Braves
I stopped watching when he said Chris is not a good fielder 😂😂😂 Chris is great at 1st base!
Fax hes been a good glove finalist like 3 times
Team Dirt golf glove isn’t determined by defensive prowess as much as you think, yes being a good fielder helps, but look at the gold glove winners, they all tend to hit well too
Dominick Pizzelanti .281 in his gold glove year, after a huge hot streak and raising his BAA by 40 points, he also won a fielding bible award that year too. Which is the real Gold Glove imo, seeing as fielding bibles are giving to the best defensive player in their position there was also the shit show of the ‘99 Gold Glove at first base in the AL going to a guy that played 28 games at first base that year, but was a DH
God Bless Baltimore.
Stanton?
Can you do a video for the fans to vote on who they would "sign"...
Vladimir Guerrero or Manny Ramirez. Do your statistics thing, add the defense thing.... let the people vote!!!
Is it Keon Broxton for the 45 percent
Yep!!
excuse me.....he was a good firstbaseman, when he first came to the Orioles, he was hitting to all fields without effort, and with power, then he seemed to just try pulling all the time, and that was it
A Chris Davis researgance!? His 63 overall card (😂) is going off for me right now with my Battle Royale team on MLB The Show.
ruclips.net/video/xQ_wgM2i7ZQ/видео.html
His reign starts at the 1 hour mark (we drafted the new team right before that)!
Do the same type of video on miggy
As a Ranger fan I am insulted by the lack of integrity of this video! He was a bull for the Rangers that is why Showalter brought him over!
I feel bad for davis
He stopped the juice?
I'm an Orioles fan.
Sure, Davis can hit HRs to all fields. However, he has nothing to show for hitting against the shift. Is he even capable of laying down a bunt?
@@robertj.przybylski3866 Lesson learned: when guys coming through the system like a Machado or Schoop lock them in first before throwing money around to someone like Davis. In today's terms, lock up Rutschman. Keep him an Oriole for long as possible.
A different type of story could be on Mark Sweeney, the ‘modern’ pinch hitter.
Ooo that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A video on pinch hitters would be cool. Great suggestion!
He got caught with amphedimenes, once he stopped, it was over
"I feel it's only natural for a player to have less success against breaking balls"
**Well...**
He’s winning comeback player of the year book it come back after next season whenever that will be and remember my comment
I wouldn’t bet too much on that
Lol no chance
Tyler White for the k%?
Keon broxton! But good guess
His best fielding is when he DH's
Everything is right except the fielding. He's a very good fielder at first, and is well above average.
Let’s just be straight here Davis has adhd and he was able to control it for years because his medicine which was Adderall and the mlb took it away and that’s when it happened he just couldn’t find the ball he just couldn’t get it so yeah pretty much what happened
Woah Chris Davis isn't a good 1B? What Chris Davis have you been watching? If there's only redeeming quality he has, it's fielding.
WHAT??!!!???!!! NOT A GOOD FEILDER?!??!?! HE IS A GREAT FEILDER! HAVE U EVER WATCHED BASEBALL BEFORE?
He needs to offer Jobu cigar and rum
I think it was 2015 when Chris Davis got robbed of 5 or 6 Home Runs in 1 season!
its all bat speed, he can't react fast enough anymore
Ben Zobrist
In my opinion nobody hitting under avg220 in the mlb should be in the mayorsn in the MLB that i grow up watching we consider AVG 250 bad
Oh God what didn’t happen.
And this coming season he's gonna hit against Cole, Ryu, Morton, Tanaka and Snell for about 4 games each. Sorry but I expect his numbers to go even further down.
Robel Garcia?
Chris Davis is one of the best fielders in the MLB
Keon broxton
Aderall
So what you’re saying is he had to stop taking roids and that’s when his decline came into effect
Steroids has been illegal for quite some time and he would have been caught by now. Next time, don't accuse someone of something until you actually have proof.
Averaging above 260 is not decent it’s good.
He’s not a bad 1st baseman though? I don’t think it’s fair to call him a bad fielder.
