After enduring somewhat of a sophomore slump last year, Cody Bellinger has bounced back in a major way for the Los Angeles Dodgers, thriving on both sides of the ball in the early going of the 2019 MLB season.
Bellinger has taken the league by storm with his offensive performance, but his seamless transition from first base to playing right field on a daily basis is also worth pointing out.
He has excelled at the position despite his inexperience entering the year, to which he previously logged all of 37 career innings. Bellinger’s savvy play in right field was on display in Sunday’s four-game finale against the Washington Nationals when he preserved Hyun-Jin Ryu’s no-hit bid in the sixth inning.
