The Los Angeles Dodgers began the 2019 MLB season in impressive fashion, slugging an Opening Day record eight home runs in a thrashing of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team went on to become first to 20 wins, and their success has largely been predicated on Cody Bellinger and his incredible pace.
What began as a hot stretch grew into a record-breaking month of play. Bellinger was named National League Player of the Week for March 31-April 7, and certainly had an argument for last week’s games to join Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Christian Yelich as a two-time winner this season.
