Reviewing Baseball America Dodger Top 30
Several weeks ago Baseball American came out with their updated prospect list which made me go back and look harder at their original Dodger top 30 which came out in Jan/Feb of 2017. The Hits: Bellinger as the top prospect was prophetic. In reading the BA review they thought he had 30 home run power, …
Dodgers might have three top five MVP candidates
The first is certainly Justin Turner, and I’ll be the first to admit I mocked a comment over at TBLA when someone suggested that Turner might win the MVP back in March. I liked Turner but I never thought he could put together a full-season of MVP worthy stats. I was wrong, Justin Turner is …
Cody Bellinger moving up with 28
With Cody Bellinger on pace to set the new NL Rookie Home Run record, I thought now would be a good time to look at the names he’ll be passing on his way to the record. Frank Robinson blasted those 38 home runs way back in 1956 when he was just 20 years old. That …
Chasing Piazza / Robinson / Green / McGwire with number 28
While doing this chase segment for Cody Bellinger I’ve been remiss in leaving out Frank Robinson and Wally Berger who both hold the NL rookie home run single season record of 38. With Joc Pederson and Corey Seager dropping off after Cody Bellinger hit his 27th home run on Sunday, I’ll add Frank Robinson to …

Saturday – Saturday for Cody Bellinger
Cody Bellinger woke up last Saturday in a slump, his OPS had dropped from a high of 1.021 on June 25th to .948 on Saturday Morning. He hadn’t hit a home run since June 25th. Had the league figured him out? Was he worn out from all the media coverage of his crazy start …
Of course he did
Joe Davis called it right “Of course he did” as Cody Bellinger added to his legendary season by hitting for the cycle in Miami tonight, and he did it the hard way, hitting a triple to complete the cycle. I’m extremely pleased because he replaces Orlando Hudson as the last Dodger to hit for the …
LAD First half leaderboards – Slugging Percentage
Cody Bellinger ranks 3rd at the half in slugging percentage. No surprise that Sheffield and Piazza are one and two. It is rankling that the order is not reversed. That was some trade. Paul Lo Duca gets an appearance because of my generous criteria of only 200 plate appearances. That doesn’t negate the fact that …
LAD First half leaderboards – Home Runs
Was kind of hoping that Cody Bellinger would knock Gary Sheffield off the top of this leaderboard but his prodigious home run power fell off in July. Bellinger ends up tied with Eric Karros for 3rd place with twenty-five home runs. I wish I could remember the great first half that Karros had in 2000 …
Cody Bellinger racks up another award
Cody’s mom is going to need to build a new mantle at the rate he keeps bringing home the hardware. Only two months into his major league career and Cody Bellinger has already won: NL Rookie of the Month for June (his latest) NL Rookie of the Month for May NL Player of the Week from …
