Part 4/8:
Despite his historic 2013 season, cracks began to surface. The following year, his strikeout rate soared even higher as he was suspended for 25 games due to a positive test for amphetamines, which he attributed to a previously allowed prescription for Aderall that he was no longer exempted to use. By 2015, Davis had another strong season, hitting 47 home runs, but his swing-and-miss tendencies intensified, foreshadowing more trouble ahead.
Davis's 2016 season was a reflection of his decline. While still a capable power hitter with 38 home runs, his batting average dropped significantly, and the number of strikeouts continued to rise. By the end of 2017, his performance fell to new lows.
