Cody Bellinger Dodger home run king at age 23
Cody Bellinger passed Adrian Beltre last night to be the first Dodger aged 23 or younger to hit at least 77 home runs. It must be noted that Beltre hit his 76 home runs in roughly twice as many plate appearances as Cody. At age 23, Beltre had been an inconsistent performer for the Dodgers …
