Cody Bellinger

Bellinger has had a unique career trajectory to date. He was worth 15.3 fWAR, hit 111 home runs, stole 39 bases and won an NL MVP by the end of his age-23/24 season. Since then, he has hit .195/.278/.364 with 22 home runs and nine steals while being worth 0.4 fWAR over his last 151 games (2020-2021). He dealt with rib and hamstring injuries late last season and dealt with a calf injury in the spring that ended up getting re-diagnosed as a fractured fibula, which sidelined him for almost two months from early April to late May. Even prior to the calf/fibula injury, Bellinger was returning from November 2020 surgery to repair a dislocated right shoulder. There's no sugarcoating how bad Bellinger was in 2021, but it's hard to say what percentage of that poor performance can simply be blamed on the injuries he dealt with. Bellinger no longer carries first-base eligibility and doesn't turn 27 until July. He has gone outside the first 100 picks in many early NFBC drafts, which could end up looking like a massive bargain, although it requires a small leap of faith to make that pick on draft day.
