Cody Bellinger

“I love playing center.”

“Growing up, my favorite player was either Derek Jeter or Manny Ramirez.”

“I could get better at baserunning.”

“When you don't get hits it's depressing.”

“I'm still learning about my swing more. I continue to learn, with the help of my hitting instructors.”

“At the end of the day, that's why we're playing the games, for the postseason.”

“All the in-depth scouting reports we have on the opposing pitchers - just kind of learning how to study that, it's huge.”

“If I could help the pitcher as much as I can, or I could save three to five errors a year with my defense, then that's just a big help for my teammates.”

“I hate when pitchers get me out multiple times. It's probably an ego thing, but I don't like that.”

“I think any way you can help offensively or defensively, and if you can get both in one day, that's a huge confidence booster and everyone wants to do that.”

“I've seen my dad's three rings. I'd love to have one for myself.”
