Aug 1 2022
Cody Bellinger (1B/OF, LA) was one of the most divisive players during the 2022 draft season, often grouped with Christian Yelich (OF, MIL) as a prime bounceback candidate. Despite having another full offseason to recover from shoulder surgery and tinker with his swing mechanics, Bellinger hasn’t been able to recapture his form from 2019 and 2020.
