Quotes from Cody Bellinger

I've said it before, every day in the cage, I'm trying to be consistent and keep my load and keep my body right and my mind right.

It's a crazy game. And it's a beautiful game.

Just trying to keep going. Just try to stay in the present the best I can. Not get too big-headed or too down on myself.

I love going to San Diego.

I'm up here to help the team win every at-bat, offense, defense, baserunning.

If I could help the pitcher as much as I can, or I could save three to five errors a year with my defense, then that's just a big help for my teammates.

I'm just trying to play a game. I don't think I should have to worry about who's gonna come on the field and whatnot.

I think you just have extra adrenaline playing at home.

In the pursuit of a championship and beyond, I'm determined to take my performance, on and off the field, to the next level. I'm confident that MET-Rx and their great lineup of sports nutrition products is the perfect partner to help me do just that.

I don't really miss pitching in games, and I don't think my arm could hold up. I would still love to try the radar gun, just not pitch on a consistent basis. I'd love to go and try to fire up the gun, though.

I was just getting away from my game plan. What I was doing really, I wasn't using it to my advantage in '18. And that was it.

I didn't really set any goals, just trying to go and play the game.

I'm just trying to stay within myself every day and keep going.

During the season, you just grind, it's a cat-and-mouse game.

It's a game to be enjoyed. For us, it's also a business - it's a job. But you play better when you're having fun.

The Met-Rx products... helped me take my workouts to the next level.

When you don't get hits it's depressing.

I see myself as a line-drive hitter first.

The offseason after the 2014 season, I worked with hitting coach Damon Mashore. I always had power in batting practice but couldn't take it into a game consistently. We made a little adjustment with my hands, lowered them a bit to get a consistent path to the ball, a natural uppercut to elevate the ball and backspin some balls.

I think everyone's favorite part of the game is hitting - especially when you're having success - considering it's so hard to do.

For me, I know the game is a humbling game, so I don't get too high or too low.

The pressure of the World Series and the playoffs, it gets to you. But I hope I feel like that every year. Because hopefully we're playing into November every year.

We know how hard it is to make the World Series; to do it two years in a row is really special. I know how lucky I am to be a part of it two years in a row.

It's weird coming into a game in the later innings, in a World Series game.
