Chris Davis isn’t alone: Here are several other exceedingly bad (and unlucky) MLB streaks
Chris Davis is not off to a good start this season. At all. By Neil Greenberg Neil Greenberg Reporter analyzing advanced sports statistics for The Washington Post Email Bio Follow April 9 at 2:45 PM Breathe easy Eugenio Velez, Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis has erased you from the record books.
Preseason projections had him batting .200 with a .687 OPS, production on par with a replacement player. If we take this forecast as gospel, the chances of him going 0-for-49 to start the year are a minuscule 0.002 percent, odds of roughly 56,000-to-1 against. For perspective, Davis would be five times more likely to be injured by a toilet, at least according to data from 2008. He would be three times more likely to be struck by lightning in his lifetime.
“Keep your good sense of humor and keep your focus, and let’s get a no-hitter next time out so we can keep the record in the family,” Curtis Cree told the New York Times. It’s impossible to know how often Judge would strikeout out that early in his career, but if we use the league-average strikeout rate of 22 percent in 2017 instead of Judge’s actual career rate of 32 percent, we would expect a hitter to strikeout at least once per game for 37 games just 0.00001 percent of the time.Manager Gene Mauch has the dubious honor of being in charge of a Philadelphia squad that lost 23 games in a row from July 29 to Aug. 20 1961.
