It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of FanFest and emerge from the event feeling positive about nearly every aspect of the “new Orioles.” That includes the potential of Chris Davis to rebound from his nightmarish 2018 season and become a (somewhat) productive member of the lineup once again.
The reason for much of that optimism regarding Davis stems from comments he made to reporters at FanFest when discussing how he was attempting to overcome whatever it was that caused so much trouble for him last season.
Davis will be working with a new hitting coach in Don Long, and said he’s open to incorporating the data that will likely be available via the Orioles’ new analytically-inclined front office.
