BIOGRAPHY

Khris Davis was born December 21, 1987, in Lakewood, California. He is a left fielder for the Texas Rangers in the MLB.

The Brewers added Davis to their 40-man roster during the 2012–13 offseason. After a productive spring training, Davis made the final roster cut and made his major league debut on opening day, grounding out in a pinch-hit appearance. Five days later, Davis made his first major league start in left field and recorded his first major league hit, a double off Patrick Corbin of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Davis hit two home runs in Oakland's 2017 season opener on April 3, the second Athletics player to do so, and the first since Jason Giambi in 2000. Davis hit 43 home runs total in the 2017 season and contributed 110 RBIs, being the first Athletics player to have back-to-back 40 home run seasons.

In 2018, his 48 home runs led all of MLB. He also batted .247 for the fourth consecutive season. His 123 RBIs were the second-most in baseball behind J. D. Martinez.
