Certainly, it’s been a big week for Los Angeles Dodgers’ outfielder Cody Bellinger. Of course you know that he won his first Rawlings Gold Glove Award earlier in the week. Then, Bellinger spoke about what taking home that hardware meant to him.
From there, Bellinger was labeled the Dodgers’ most untouchable trade asset and named a finalist on the MVP ballot all within a day. Therefore, it’s been a banner week for the 24-year old superstar.
However, things aren’t finished yet; and you will have your opportunity to decide a very special award. Right now, Bellinger is up for the Rawlings Platinum Glove Award. This award is given to the best fielder in each league, and while a player at every position is listed; only one player will win in the National League.
