The 2021 season has not been what Cody Bellinger had hoped it would be following a down year. He’s only appeared in 32 games so far thanks to a fracture he suffered in his leg running to first base.
However, his return has been difficult to watch as he has been missing pitches, namely fastballs, he was crushing in seasons before. There have been positive moments here and there, yet it hasn’t been pretty as a whole. Despite the slump he’s having at the plate, Dave Roberts mentioned that Bellinger still provides value to the team.
