Khris Davis Posts .247 Average For Fourth Straight Season

Oct 1, 2018 7:43 AM

Khris Davis hit more home runs (48) than anyone else in baseball this season, but it's his batting average that has people talking.

Davis has now finished with a .247 batting average in each of the last four seasons.

No player in Major League history has had the same batting average rounded to three decimal places in four consecutive seasons.

The Oakland Athletics took Davis out for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning Sunday, ensuring that he would match the batting average again this season.

The career .248 hitter has 133 home runs since the start of the 2016 season, the most in that span.
