It was a magical first season for the first baseman of the Dodgers. Cody Bellinger originally was planning on spending most of the year in at Triple-A Oklahoma City and joining the big club with the rest of the September call-ups. But as we know, life doesn’t always go according to plan.
The Dodgers’ veteran first baseman Adrian Gonzalez hit the DL for the first time in his career, leading to Bellinger being activated on April 25. The 22-year old wasted no time in proving that he had the goods to be in the big leagues.
