Clipped from an MLB article from two years ago
https://www.mlb.com/news/eric-davis-put-up-video-game-stats-for-reds-c279109048
It is a long article covering his struggles as a young player still trying to prove he belongs before going on an insane run, his highlights through the run and his eventual crash back down to Earth with the rest of us mere humans. If you want to enjoy the article and it's many highlights, I've put his hitting stats further down the page to not spoil it for you but here are some teaser stats
From June 11, 1986 to July 4, 1987
Davis played in 162 games, starting 152
He got 659 plate appearances. It is basically a full year.
Over that stretch, Davis hit .308/.406/.622 with 47 homers, 149 runs, 123 RBIs and 98 stolen bases (getting caught just 12 times).
That's insane. That's like stealing second two out of every three singles or walks turning them into instant doubles. He was Billy Hamilton with the ability to hit for average and power. Amazing bat speed.
