Even though he was the favorite going into the competition, he only ended up hitting 8 homers in the first round and 4 in the second. But that’s good, because now we don’t have to worry about him suffering from the Home Run Derby Curse in the second half of the season. I know this is a long way off, but based on the Favorite Toy's 40% odds of 500 homers it's not inconceivable... It will be interesting to see what happens if Davis gets to 500.
If Chris Davis has shown anything so far this season, it's that he's a threat to hit one out every time he steps to the dish. Davis received a therapeutic use exemption for Vyvanse, a stimulant drug, prior to the 2015 season. May 31, 2018 Oakland Athletics activated LF Khris Davis from the 10-day injured list.

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.

In the lineup full-time in 2012, he hit 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 runs batted in , was selected to the All-Star Game, and finished third in American League Most Valuable Player Award voting. In September 2014, Davis was suspended for 25 games for testing positive for amphetamine; he asserted that he tested positive due to the use of Adderall, for which he previously had a "therapeutic use exemption".
Player Value--Pitching
Davis was the designated hitter until he was pressed into service as a relief pitcher in the 16th inning after Showalter had depleted the Orioles' bullpen. He struck out two batters and did not allow a run in his two innings of mound work. He was the first position player in the American League to be the winning pitcher in a game since Rocky Colavito on August 25, 1968, and the first to pitch for the Orioles since Manny Alexander on April 19, 1996. In 2011, Davis began the season in the minors but was called up from Triple-A to play for the Rangers on April 11 when Hamilton suffered a fracture of the humerus bone in his shoulder. He was also called up for a game on June 8 when Ian Kinsler was placed on paternity leave.
Davis attended Navarro Junior College and was selected by the Rangers in the fifth round of the 2006 MLB draft. He 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 his tendency to strike out left the Rangers dissatisfied with him.
Chris Davis’ Contract: Orioles’ Slugger Owed $59 Million In Retirement
And, if that event was special enough, there is one more three-home-run event tied to it. In the previous game on August 22, the Orioles played the Texas Rangers and Adrian Beltre hit three home runs against the Birds.

I think theres a pretty good chance he passes murray and ends up second. I'm thinking he will have at least 2 more 40 home run seasons and I would bet even in year 7 he will have the ability to hit 20 or so.

Davis received everyday playing time in 2012, starting at first base, at designated hitter, and in the outfield throughout the season. On May 6, in a 17-inning, 9–6 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, Davis went hitless in eight at bats, but ended up being the winning pitcher. His feat was the first of its kind since Rube Waddell achieved it on July 4, 1905.
Frankly, with the way Davis is rolling—he has seven more homers than any other hitter heading into Wednesday's games—there's a strong possibility he could get to 30 home runs by the time we hit the break. The last time anyone hit 60 homers in a single season, it happened twice in 2001, as Barry Bonds bashed his record-breaking 73 and Sammy Sosa smashed 64. On July 30, 2011, Davis was traded with pitcher Tommy Hunter to the Baltimore Orioles for reliever Koji Uehara. Davis became expendable, because the Rangers felt Moreland was a better option at first base. While one popular idea was that it was because of his many strikeouts and low batting average, Orioles manager Buck Showalter believed it was due to the presence of Moreland and Adrián Beltré in Texas.
The 2021 season marked the sixth year of Davis’ seven-year, $161 million contract. Baltimore will still pay Davis his 2022 salary, and his deal includes deferred payments through 2037. Growing up, his parents took him to First Baptist Church in Longview, but Davis said it was not until after his difficult 2010 season that he "finally grasped true faith" and began reading the Bible daily. Davis, his wife, Jill and their three daughters live in Baltimore, Maryland, and Flower Mound, Texas.

Davis's single against Patrick Corbin advanced Miguel Cabrera to third, where he would score the game's first run on José Bautista's sacrifice fly. In 80 games , Davis batted .285 with 84 hits, 23 doubles, 17 home runs, and 55 RBI. Defensively, he was much better at first base than third, with a .997 fielding percentage at first as opposed to a .962 percentage at third and a higher range factor as well. By virtue of his hot start with the Rangers, and his considerable power as a batter, Davis was dubbed "Crush Davis" by local media and fans (a play on "Crash Davis" from the movie Bull Durham).
That year he hit 33 home runs, and in 2013, he led the AL with 53. He has yet to go yard in 2020 and being on the IL certainly won’t help his case. If the player the Mets choose is on this list, you are due major brownie points. Even with six really good years he's probably in the low-to-mid 40s.
On August 7, during a loss to the Yankees, Davis had to be physically restrained by players and coaches after attempting to go after manager Brandon Hyde. Davis finished the season with a .179 batting average and 12 home runs in 105 games. Davis was once again optioned to Triple-A after starting 2010 batting .188 in 15 games . A roster spot, as well as a position in the Rangers starting lineup, became available when Justin Smoak was involved in a trade with the Seattle Mariners for Cliff Lee.

Davis' suspension covered the final 17 games of the 2014 regular season and the seven games the Orioles played in the 2014 postseason. Reds sign Wil Myers to 1-year deal, with mutual 2024 option Wil Myers, who hit .261 in 77 games for San Diego last season, signed a one-year deal with the Reds. Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis will go down in the history books for a remarkable performance at the plate during the first half of the 2013 MLB season. Division rivals like the Red Sox, Rays and Yankees will work him especially tough. I think he’ll do well to homer once every five games the rest of the way, and that gets him 13 more, which leaves him with an even 50. Chris Davis is taking dead aim at Roger Maris, if not Barry Bonds.
