Statcast Week 3: Khrush Davis

Related Topics: Home run, Khris Davis, Statcast

Khris Davis hit two home runs on opening day and hasn’t stopped hitting since. Compared to the Khris Davis we saw last April (.636 OPS), he is a completely new player. He is hitting with more power, even though that is likely to decline some — I think. He’s also hitting for a better average, which isn’t completely unsustainable as evidenced by just a .313 BABIP. Davis has also knocked a few points off of his K% from where it was at this time last year.

All that is to say that Davis is looking more like an MLB star as opposed to just a low-OBP slugger.
