With Chris Davis done for season, Orioles hitting coach outlines path forward: ‘The most dangerous thing a hitter can do is look back’

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was short in his declaration Saturday that Chris Davis wouldn’t return from the injured list due to his sore knee, ending his 2020 season with the club and leaving plenty more questions about his future.

Hitting coach Don Long was a bit more expansive on what will be required for Davis to get back to the kind of production that he has spent so long reaching back to replicate once he’s back healthy in 2021.

“You have to keep working, and you have to keep believing,” Long said. " That sounds kind of generic, but I think he’s dedicated to do that, to have the right mentality, the opportunity to work, to try and improve.
