When former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Eric Davis watches current Reds first baseman Joey Votto this season, Davis sees an adjustment that hundreds of baseball players over the age of 35 have tried to make.
According to Davis, most hitters in his era tried to hit for more power as they got older. Davis was a two-time All-Star in the 1980s, and his slugging percentage also went up during some of the later years of his career.
But Votto has taken that adjustment to the next level.
This year, Votto is having the best power-hitting season of his career as he approaches his 38th birthday.
