Dodgers News: Cody Bellinger Wanted To Prove He Could Play Right Field At Elite Level In 2019

The 2019 National League MVP candidate flexed his versatility by appearing at three different positions, receiving the majority of his playing time in right field. Bellinger had very little experience at the position entering the year, but his seamless transition was evident early on.

He was responsible for a plethora of web gems in right field, finishing the 2019 season with a 4.8 Defensive Rating and 19 Defensive Runs Saved — pacing NL qualifiers in both categories.
