With the offseason upon us, it is time once again to look back on the season, reviewing each player one by one, at least daily from now until the end of the calendar year. We start with the presumptive National League Rookie of the Year winner in Cody Bellinger at first base.
Bellinger got his first call to the majors on April 25, debuting in San Francisco after just three weeks in Triple-A. He started hitting in that first week and rarely stopped the rest of the way.
“Honestly, I thought I was going to be a September call-up, maybe mid to end season,” Bellinger said.
