Worrying Signs in Chris Davis’s Bounce Back Season

After his massive breakout in 2013 with 53 homers and a wRC+ of 168, Chris Davis fell off a cliff in 2014, posting a wRC+ of 94.

With his upcoming free agency at the end of the season, Davis has regained his power stroke this season. However, taking a deeper look at how Davis is achieving his 121 wRC+ reveals some troubling signs about the sustainability of his performance.
