Part 4/9:
Bellinger, a former MVP with the Los Angeles Dodgers, had a resurgence season with the Yankees, posting impressive stats—160 hits, 29 home runs, a .272 batting average, and an OPS of 813. His defensive value is equally notable, as he is a versatile outfielder capable of playing all three positions and even first base when needed. He provides power from the left side, which would complement existing outfielders like Brandon Nimmo and prospects such as Jet Williams and Carson Bennig.
Even with some concerns about Bellinger's past performance and whether he can continue his upward trajectory, his recent season suggests he's fully rebounded. Playing alongside Juan Soto and potentially other power hitters in the outfield, Bellinger could be a perfect fit for the Mets' offensive blueprint.
