Opening Day is le s than a week away for the Dodgers. That means that players should be rounding into regular season form by now and be ready to hit the ground running so to speak.One player that hasn't been at his best this spring is Cody Bellinger. After a rough 2021, but an encouraging postseason performance at the plate, Bellinger has reverted back to his regular season form this spring.Belli did not appear in the Dodgers Cactus League Jason Peters Jersey game on Thursday, but prior to Friday's game, has 17 strikeouts in 27 at-bats. Yikes.Despite his impre sive parade of whiffs, the Dodgers hitting coaches still think he can . On , Rob Van Scoyoc and Brant Brown talked about Bellinger's tough spring performance in the batter's box. Brown Clayton Thorson Jersey thinks that Belli is still adjusting to his surgically repaired shoulder.Scroll to ContinueThe right shoulder is strong again, but also, its just tighter than it was because it used to pop out.
