Player of the Day – Cody Bellinger
Bellinger, who missed time early in the season with a shoulder injury, has hit extremely well with the Raptors. In 45 games, he’s batting .325/.365/.492 with 13 doubles, five triples and three home runs.
The 19-year-old first baseman already has an excellent glove but has improved his offense in his second pro season. He, along with Julian Leon and Alex Verdugo, gives Ogden a trio of exciting teenagers to lead the offense in the playoffs.
