Dodgers First Baseman Cody Bellinger Set to Stun in 2018

The Dodgers have been gifted with yet another young superstar-in-the-making. Cody Bellinger: you know the story, he was the top power-hitting prospect in baseball and burst onto the scene as an injury call-up. Cody never looked back as he set the NL record for most home runs by a rookie with 39. The impressive part is that it took just 132 games and 480 plate appearances.

Overall, he hit .267/.352/.581 with 39 long balls, 26 doubles, and ten stolen bases while striking out 146 times. His biggest problem was striking out, which he did 26.6% of the time.
