Los Angeles Dodgers are probably the strongest team this year in MLB. Though the Dodgers are yet to play any league games, at least on paper, they are the most dangerous side this season. However, in the name of Cody Bellinger, the Dodgers might have a weak link in their squad.
Notably, the Dodgers outfielder is struggling with his form for a long time. After a dreadful year in 2021, Bellinger is playing even worse. The regular season is just a few days away, and Bellinger’s form is definitely a worrying sign for the Dodgers.

Cody Bellinger continues his poor form in spring training
Ever since making his MLB debut in 2017, Cody Bellinger has played only for the Dodgers. And since then, he has been a key part of the roster. Even during the 2020 season, Bellinger played an instrumental role in LA Dodgers’ World Series victory.
The Dodgers star is struggling with his form since the last season. Even in the spring training games ahead of the 2022 season, his numbers are horrible. Out of 19 at-bats, Bellinger has 14 strikeouts, including 8 strikeouts in a row.
