Exit velocity down from 91.8 to 89.0 since 2015.

Hard hit ball percentage down from 46.2% to 39.6% since 2015.

Barrel % down from 17.6% to 10.7% since 2015.  

All those numbers relate to batted balls, not pitches that were missed.   And by the way, it’s certainly plausible that less muscle -> lower bat speed -> more swings and misses/failure to pull the trigger on strikes.

 

 

 

 

As Yogi would say..."He's a good hitter, except he ain't."

look for Davis to work hard this off season and have an outstanding 2020. I predict good things for Chris.

Reminds me of Spurrier saying FSU should sign Willie Taggart to a 10 year contract.

I wonder how these stack up with other aging low average sluggers. Wasn’t Boog done by age 34?

Is CD gonna compete with Boog with Davis' Doggy Dogs?

How's it going Chris? Shouldn't you be getting ready for the game today?

Boog at least didnt lose his muscles at 34.  He is still a big guy even at his age.

They're down overall since 2015 yeah, but highest since 2017.

Bonds hit 73 HR at age 36. And still hit 45 HR at age 39. But he wasnt low average, he was extremely high average.

Apples and oranges.  Boog was AL Comeback Player of the Year in his age 33 season of 1975 for Cleveland.  He had been traded by the Os as Frank Robinson was the Cleveland manager and strongly supported getting him. 

He hit 27 HRs and .297 BA that season unlike Chris Davis....the following year he had a torn thigh muscle that limited his playing time and was traded in the offseason to LA for his last season where he was mainly a backup for Steve Garvey and pinch hitter, then he retired. 

Plus, he has sold a lot of Miller Lite and BBQ since then...lol.

Bonds Mainlined the great stuff and never took a break.

Like Davis when he was good, Boog also hit the long balls to opposite field when doing well.
