Chris Davis Voted 2015 Louis M. Hatter Most Valuable Oriole

Chris Davis has been voted the 2015 Louis M. Hatter Most Valuable Oriole Award winner by members of the local media.

The Most Valuable Oriole Award is named in honor of the late Lou Hatter, a former sportswriter for the Baltimore Sun who covered the Orioles for 27 years.

Davis leads the Major Leagues with 45 home runs, ranking fourth with 112 RBI, and ninth in slugging percentage. His 45 homers are the fifth-highest single-season total in Orioles history (since 1954) and he is the first Oriole to post two separate 40-homer seasons.

He has hit two walk-off home runs this year and has accounted for three of the Orioles nine walk-off hits this season.

He is one of two players in the Major Leagues to post seven or more multi-home run games this season. Davis hit three Eutaw Street home runs this season including his eighth career Eutaw Street home run on August 14 vs. Oakland, the most by an individual player in Oriole Park history.
