First baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger was ranked the Los Angeles Dodgers top prospect by Baseball America. He supplants Corey Seager, who was the organization’s No. 1 prospect each of the past two years.
Bellinger played in 117 games last season, 114 of which were with Double-A Tulsa, and the remaining three with Triple-A Oklahoma City at the end of the year. He remained with OKC through the Pacific Coast League championship.
Bellinger batted .263/.359/.484 with 17 doubles, 23 home runs and 65 RBI for the Drillers. Beyond carrying the Drillers offense, Bellinger proved to be versatile in the field, playing first base (81 games), left field (13), center field (13) and right field (nine).
