Is Davis Done?

Oh, I think he cares. I think he has lost his bat speed for whatever reason. Maybe he did something to enhance it before he earned 161 million.

Im hoping, the bat speed was reduced by injury, and not being 100%.

Me too. Some good news for Chris.

The weird thing to me is the big increase in strikes where he isn't even swinging.  That to me implies there's something either with his eyes or maybe confidence?   idk

His K % last year was 37% of all PA..........the highest of his entire career so far.  His career average is 32%.

Credit fangraphs for the following stats:

For his career Davis has swung at 71% of all pitches within the strikezone.

In 2017 he swung at only 60% of pitches in the strikezone.  That's definitely worrying.

Doing some magic to combine bb-ref with fangraphs.......

He sees over 2,000 pitches per season.  2,134 last year, 2700 in previous years.   Last year 43% of those were 'true strikes' (pitches within the strikezone).     So he saw around 918 pitches that were in the zone.   A decrease swinging at strikes % of 10% means close to 100 more 'free' strikes you're giving the opponent........which will obviously lead to many many more outs.

It seemed like most of them were on strike three.
