Happy 31st birthday to three-time MLB All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger, 2017 National League Rookie of the Year and 2019 MVP, Cody Bellinger!
Bellinger spent his first six big league seasons as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting 39 home runs in his first MLB season with a .267 batting average. In 2019 he hit better than .300 for the first of two times so far in his career with a personal best 47 home runs and 115 RBI. But after the Dodgers won the World Series in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, his bat fell off a cliff in 2021 and 2022.
He got a fresh start with the Cubs in 2023, hitting .307 after .165 and .210 in his final campaigns as a Dodger before being traded to the New York Yankees ahead of 2025 and signing a new contract with them before 2026. So far in the Bronx he’s hitting .264 with 40 HRs and 149 RBI in 245 games.
