Bellinger is batting .299 with an .890 OPS over his last 20 games, delivering four homers and 18 RBI. He carries a five-game homer drought but has recent power potential against Minnesota’s Simeon Woods Richardson, who has struggled with HRs and control in six starts post-ASG.

Bellinger is a strong Yankee stack piece, posting a .910 OPS across recent outings and offering a blend of power and on-base potential that pairs well with Judge and Stanton in Yankee Stadium.

Bellinger, listed as a Yankees outfielder, unleashed a 95.3 mph, one-hop throw from right field to deny Bichette at the plate, highlighting his defensive value in a critical late-season window for New York as they chase a tighter division race.

Cody Bellinger, Yankees outfielder, delivered a 95.3 mph one-hop throw to retire Bichette at home during a rain-delayed game, highlighting his two-way impact in a pivotal weekend for the AL East race. His form provides a benchmark for offense and defense in this cross-town context.

Bellinger is at the center of the market, with an impending opt-out of his Yankees contract. At 30, he’s delivering a power surge and RBI pace that ranks among his best post-2019, making him a top free-agent bat. The decision will shape Yankee plans at first base and could drive a nine-figure deal, drawing Mets and Cubs interest as a potentially reverse-linked move.
