The 2019 MLB Season is less than a month old, but Los Angeles Dodgers rising star Cody Bellinger has already generated some early MVP buzz thanks to his stellar play. That has naturally sparked comparisons between Bellinger and defending National League MVP Christian Yelich, who is also off to another strong start.
Bellinger and Yelich have seen a lot of each other, dating back to last year’s NL Championship Series. Both struggled throughout much of the seven-game series, but Bellinger got the last laugh with a walk-off single in Game 4 and a two-run home run to put the Dodgers ahead for good in Game 7, eventually winning NLCS MVP.
