I would bet 35% of the people who post on the main board have no idea who Cody Bellinger is.

Written today by Jeffrey Paternostro of BP:

 

Scouting Report: Bellinger profiles as your classic three-true-outcome slugger, but he’s no hulking Thome or Dunn. He’s tall and lean, but an excellent athlete who profiles as a gold glove caliber defender at first and also has enough arm to play right field. A center field assignment might be ambitious at the major league level, but as a once a week guy, he won’t kill you there. The bat will carry even a first base assignment though as Bellinger has plus-plus raw that comes from a leveraged swing with premium bat speed. Swing-and-miss has always come with this profile, and Bellinger is no exception. He’s made enough hard contact to make up for an approach that isn’t advanced as his minor league walk rate might imply, but major league arms might be able to find holes and exploit them. Better not miss your spot though. Bellinger is only 21, and could still add strength in coming years. That’s a scary thought, but there’s a reason he was comfortably on the top half of our 101 despite being a first base prospect. And no one will care if the hit tool his below-average if he is dumping thirty over the fence a season.

Bellinger is going to struggle pretty hard for maybe two seasons before possibly clicking. Think Joey Gallo

You're being a real crepehanger right now.

I guess there's an actual game being played, so here's the relevant information (even though we're all just here for Cody Bellinger, let's be honest):

He's no Dom Smith but I'm pretty excited that Bellinger is playing and playing the OF

I didn't request you. This was a job for o2.

Watch both.

[King]

This is so much better than that terrible Blue Jays game.

[P2F]

Christian Arroyo just got his first ML hit, and off of Kershaw of all pitchers.

[Jonn]

Doubts bro but nice try.

[BTS]

Bellinger getting that first catch out of the way. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but he looked like a 1st ballot HOFer on that catch.

I liked the way he let it fall into his mitt, where he then proceeded to squeeze his fist, subsequently trapping the ball inside of the webbing of the glove for the final out of the inning. Pretty incredible play.

Yup. Very casual. Comfortable. But he also didn't showboat - he made sure it was secure in there.

I remember Willie Mays doing something very similar one time.

[vdubmvp]

What a letdown.

[P2F]

He's a bum, time to pack it in.

[King]

Good contact, unlucky.

[BTS]

What a letdown.

 

You're underestimating him. That was weak contact. It was supposed to be weak contact. Blach is going to remember that weak contact and throw him that pitch again. When he does, Cody will be ready. Cody is always ready.
