Jonah Keri On Baltimore's Heavy-hitting Chris Davis - Grantland

Watch Out For 'Crush' Davis

For the first 1,495 at-bats of his career, Chris Davis looked like a thousand big, lumbering, mediocre sluggers before him. He didn't run well and didn't field well. He had a terrible batting approach, one that could best be described as swing for the moon, then offer every fan on the third-base side a nice, cool breeze.
