Cody Bellinger

“I don't really miss pitching in games, and I don't think my arm could hold up. I would still love to try the radar gun, just not pitch on a consistent basis. I'd love to go and try to fire up the gun, though.”

“It's just a grind every single day.”

“I like Frappucinos. For their sugar.”

“I think growing into a frame is important, not being - in my case - 160-170 pounds.”

“It was really cool coming back here to Chase Field. I played here in high school and went to a lot of games as a kid.”

“You never want to see a guy go on the DL.”

“I'm going to keep playing the way I do. I don't think anybody can tell me how to play; I always play hard.”

“I grew up playing in the outfield and junior year of high school I went over to first base and got some tidbits from my dad, but it kind of came naturally to me.”

“I think when you have some success, you're living the dream, and you want to have more success.”

“There's definitely more pressure to get the first hit when you are 0-for-8 to start the year.”

“When I was drafted, I didn't know any better. I didn't think I had to hit for power.”

“Just trying to keep going. Just try to stay in the present the best I can. Not get too big-headed or too down on myself.”

“It's a game to be enjoyed. For us, it's also a business - it's a job. But you play better when you're having fun.”

“For me, I know the game is a humbling game, so I don't get too high or too low.”

“I know what a full season is like in the big leagues. It's not going to be a surprise anymore.”

“I'm just trying to stay within myself every day and keep going.”

“We know how hard it is to make the World Series; to do it two years in a row is really special. I know how lucky I am to be a part of it two years in a row.”

“I'm learning. Watching video. Understanding what I'm good at, what I'm not good at.”

“I know what I need to do to keep my body in shape to last 162 games.”

“When you're not hitting and they're making good pitches, it's hard.”
