We all remember Josh Bell doing stuff like this, right?
Good, good. Just making sure. It might be easy to forget Bell's historic launch in 2019 — one that saw him capture National League Player of the Month honors in May — when considering that devastating, 69-93 Pirates season as a whole.
Through May 31, though — a stretch of 56 games — Bell hit 18 home runs and drove in 52 runs, slashing .343/.405/.704. The results inserted his name into conversations with guys like Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson.
