Christopher Lyn "Chris" Davis, nicknamed "Crush Davis", is an American professional baseball first baseman with the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball. He stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 230 pounds. Davis also played with the Texas Rangers from 2008 until being traded to the Orioles in 2011. He bats left-handed and throws right-handed. Davis was born and raised in Longview, Texas. He attended Navarro Junior College and was selected by the Texas Rangers in the fifth round of the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. Davis ascended quickly through the Rangers' minor league system, getting named their Minor League Player of the Year in 2007. He was called up in the middle of 2008 and had a strong start to his major league career. He was the Rangers' starting first baseman for 92 games in 2009 and hit 21 home runs, but a low batting average and a tendency to strike out left the Rangers dissatisfied with him. Because of this, the Rangers sent Davis back and forth between the minors and the majors over the next two years and left him off their playoff roster in 2010. On July 30, 2011, they traded him to the Baltimore Orioles with Tommy Hunter for Koji Uehara.
