Cody Bellinger Spring Training numbers are turning heads, and for all the wrong reasons. Through Tuesday, the lefty slugger has logged 17 strikeouts in 24 at-bats in Cactus League play. In a recent interview with reporters, Bellinger stated that he “feeling better despite what the results are saying” and joked that he’s getting his “punchies out of the way early”.
For some Dodgers fans, the joke wasn’t exactly reassuring.
Last year, Bellinger slashed .165/.240/.302 and played in only 95 games due to various injuries. Including a leg injury suffered in the Dodgers second series of the season.
