Chris Davis (baseball)
Christopher Lyn "Chris" Davis (born March 17, 1986), nicknamed "Crush Davis", is an American professional baseball first baseman who is a free agent. He stands tall and weighs . Davis played in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the Texas Rangers from 2008 until being traded to the Baltimore Orioles in 2011, where he remained until the end of the 2015 season. He bats left-handed and throws right-handed. While primarily a first baseman throughout his career, Davis has also played third base, designated hitter, and right field.
Davis was born and raised in Longview, Texas. He attended Navarro Junior College and was selected by the Texas Rangers in the fifth round of the 2006 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft. Davis 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 a 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 Baltimore Orioles with Tommy Hunter for Koji Uehara.
Davis appeared in 31 games for the Orioles in 2011. In the lineup full-time in 2012, he hit a career-high 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 RBI, was selected to the Major League Baseball All-Star Game for the first time in his career, and finished third in American League Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) voting.
