Christopher Lyn Davis (born March 17, 1986, in Longview, Texas) is a Major League Baseball first baseman for the Texas Rangers.
[edit] Professional careerDavis was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the fifth round of the 2006 MLB Draft out of Navarro Junior College (TX). [edit] 2008On June 26, 2008, the Rangers called up Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma, and that day he made his major league debut in a game against the Houston Astros, getting a hit in his first Major League at bat. Davis started his first Major League game at first base on June 27, 2008, and hit his first Major League home run during the game. He also homered the next day, becoming the first Texas Ranger to homer in both of his first two Major League starts. 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).[1] [edit] 2009After striking out in 30% of his at bats in 2008, Davis led all players in strikeouts during spring training, with 26 in 79 at bats, though he batted .304.[2] He hit a milestone when he struck out for the 100th time in 2009 in his 219th at bat, the fewest at bats that a player has needed to reach the 100-strikeout mark.[3] On July 5, Davis was optioned to the minors to make room for Josh Hamilton who was coming off the disabled list. He was batting only .202 with 114 strikeouts, but did have 15 home runs in 258 at bats.[4] [edit] References
