Just looked up Barry Bonds on Fangraphs. They show his last 6 years of extended data. Here are some interesting comparisons from a known cheater and best hitter of our era to Mr. Davis 2013:
Chase Percentage> Bonds: 13% Davis 35%
Contact Percent > Bonds: 83% Davis 71%
HR/FB Rate > Bonds: 25% Davis 33%
Conclusion: Chris Davis chases nearly 3x as many pitches outside the strike zone that Bonds did, makes contact 12% less, but is still hitting more flyballs out of the park than a known juicer who is a HOF talent.
