6. Chris Davis- 253 home runs

At the time of this writing, Davis is 33 years old and general manager Mike Elias has stated that Davis will return to the Orioles in 2020, at least for spring training. Unfortunately, his struggles over the last few seasons have left fans in Birdland with an image of a once-feared power hitter who has become more of a financial burden and unwanted roster piece.

Despite his sub-.200 batting average in each of the last two seasons, Davis has continued to add to his home run total, now sitting at 253 across nine seasons with the Orioles.

His best season came in 2013 when Davis set the franchise record for home runs in a single season with 53. He slashed .286/.370/.634 and added 138 RBI, 42 doubles, and 103 runs scored, all-career highs. Davis earned a Silver Slugger Award for his dominant season.

Davis’ 1,533 strikeouts are a franchise record, 228 more than Cal Ripken Jr. who sits in second place on the list. As you are well aware, Ripken played for 21 seasons in a Baltimore Orioles uniform.
