Not enough people talk about Alvin Davis:
• .280/.380/.450 (.830 OPS, 127 OPS+)
• 1984 AL ROY (27 HR, 116 RBI, 147 OPS+)
• More BB than K in 7 of 9 MLB seasons
• Fan favorite, nicknamed "Mr. Mariner"
• Never struck out 85x (only broke 80 once)
• Not related to fellow '80s 1B Glenn Davis
• During 6-year peak from 1984 to 1989 with Seattle, batted .290/.392/.474 (.866 OPS) and averaged 24 HR, 98 RBI, 98 BB, and just 74 K per 162 games.
Mr. Mariner only played 9 years in the big leagues and thus was not eligible to appear on a HOF ballot. He ended his professional baseball career with the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes, where he was a teammate of both Hideo Nomo and Masato Yoshii, and played against future HOF'er Ichiro Suzuki.

Looks like the #OneKneeTrash gurus are figuring out what baseball men have known for over 100 years. You can’t allow a 80% SB success rate. So easy, simple, and effective, even a highly touted 17-year old prospect and future of catching in MLB can do it. Beautiful! #ROXstradamus

Because this is hard to teach and evaluate for the masses, and because the masses can’t do it, they modify it and make it something they can.

HITTERS: Hitting hasn't changed in 100 years.
Unfortunately, some people want you to believe it has so they can sell you a philosophy or product.
Be careful who you entrust with your one and only chance at a career in baseball.
You won't get a second chance.
