Fabian Ardaya in charge of the Los Angeles Dodgers of the American sports media,The Athletic evaluated that Bellinger's revival was possible in a question-and-answer session with fans on the 18th.

He said,I think the Bellinger resurrection is definitely possible.From defense to speed, his physical abilities remain the same.He made a very impressive season in 2019.He is a player with a lot of value. He was 4 bWAR (victory contribution to substitutes) even in his worst season until his entire 2021 season was messed up.He's an all-star level.

The impact of the shoulder injury in 2021 remains a concern.Bellinger showed a bit of hope in October when he narrowed his swing.More adjustments in the offseason could happen while his rehab is taking place.We believe it is reasonable to expect a strong rebound from Bellinger. However, I think it will be around the 2018 level, he pointed out.

Bellinger is one of the Dodgers best players.He was picked by the Dodgers in the fourth round of the 2013 amateur draft and made his major league debut in 2017.In his debut season,he posted a batting average of 0.267, 39 homers, 97 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.933, making him the Rookie of the Year.In 2018, he appeared in all 162 games, batting .260, 25 homers, 76 RBIs and 0.814 OPS.

2019 was the year of Bellinger.He bombed the majors with a .305 batting average, 47 home runs,115 RBIs,15 stolen bases, and an OPS of 1.035. He was an All-Star, a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, and National League MVP. However, his activity was short-lived.

In the midst of a 60-game reduced season due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in 2020,Bellinger posted a sluggish record of 0.239 batting average and 0.789 OPS.He then injured his shoulder during the 2020 postseason, which lasted until 2021.

In Game 7 of the 2020 National League Championship Series, he injured his shoulder while celebrating after hitting a home run.It's a crazy injury.In 2021, Bellinger had his worst season since his major league debut,with a batting average of 0.165, 10 homers, 36 RBIs and a 0.542 OPS.

However, the part that can predict a revival to some extent is his performance in the postseason.In 12 games, Bellinger played with a batting average of 0.353 (12 hits in 34), one home run, 7 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.906. Bellinger has been in the postseason consistently since 2017, and none of the single-season postseason records have been as good as this year.

The Dodgers have hitters who are performing at the MVP level, such as Mookie Betts and Trea Turner. If Bellinger can be revived, the Dodgers attack power will be upgraded even more.
