Editing Cody Bellinger (section)

=== Struggles and Resilience ===
Despite the overwhelming success of 2019, Bellinger faced challenges in the following seasons. In 2020, while the Dodgers went on to win the World Series, Bellinger’s individual performance suffered. He struggled at the plate, batting just .239 and showing a significant drop in his power numbers. However, his defensive skills and clutch hits when it mattered most helped the Dodgers win their first World Series title since 1988.

2021 also proved to be another difficult season for Bellinger. He dealt with injuries and continued to have inconsistencies at the plate. His struggles led to speculation about whether his 2019 MVP campaign was an outlier, or if he could return to his previous form. Nonetheless, Bellinger’s commitment to working through his challenges, refining his swing, and maintaining a strong defensive presence in the outfield was not overlooked.
