Cody Bellinger's return to the New York Yankees has proven to be a successful decision, as he has made a significant impact on the team's performance this season. After re-signing in late January, Bellinger has demonstrated an impressive improvement in his statistics, including a .373 on-base percentage, which is a notable increase from last year's .334. His walk rate of 14.1% is the highest since his MVP season in 2019, while his strikeout rate has dropped to a career-low of 13.0%. Bellinger's contributions were evident in recent nail-biting games against the Cleveland Guardians and Boston Red Sox, where he delivered key hits that helped secure victories. Currently, he boasts a 3.6 Wins Above Replacement (WAR), putting him on track to exceed his total of 5.0 from the previous season. As the Yankees aim for a successful season, Bellinger's performance suggests that he may not only return to form but potentially have his best season since 2019.
