Yes, it’s Chris Davis. No, spring stats don’t mean much. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been fun watching Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis get off to a blazing hot start to spring training.
Since 2017, Chris Davis ranks dead last among all qualified major league hitters with a -4.5 fWAR, nearly two Wins Above Replacement worse than the next name on this list, Albert Pujols of the Los Angeles Angels.
He seriously considered walking away from the game after the 2019 season, but now Davis finds himself 25 pounds heavier and an early front runner for the 2020 Jake Fox Award for superb spring numbers that don’t mean very much.
