Dodgers: After Tinkering in Spring Training, Cody Bellinger Spends Time Refining Swing

Heading into the season, Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger was coming off of a mostly down season and offseason shoulder surgery to boot. Over 10 spring training games, the slugger hit only .179 with 3 home runs while he continued a pattern of work on — or tinkering with — his swing.

Before the game on Saturday, Cody talked about that swing and the time he spent refining it while on the injured list. Considering he missed nearly 50 games, there was no doubt plenty of time to work on it.

Too much time to keep working. I’ve had a lot of FaceTime with RVS [hitting coach Robert Van Scoyoc)] Bates and Brownie [hitting coach Brant Brown]. And there’s been a lot of down time, so it was nice to go…
