Dodgers star Cody Bellinger was starstruck meeting Kobe Bryant

Dodgers superstar Cody Bellinger has enjoyed his share of fame since winning the Rookie of the Year Award with the Dodgers in 2017. The 24-year-old Scottsdale native has developed into the best player on one of Major League Baseball’s best teams. It’s only a matter of time before he is a household name across America.

As a confident ballplayer with a humble personality, Bellinger is able to appreciate the magnitude of events without allowing pressure to creep into his performance. However, there was one situation, off the field, when he found himself completely speechless, and that was when he met Kobe Bryant for the first time.
