Cody Bellinger has continued to disappoint with sheets for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, and it seems no one has been more disappointed by the struggles than Jerry Hairston Jr.
Hairston, who played for nine different teams in 16 MLB seasons, is currently a Dodgers analyst for SportsNet LA. He left the field at Bellinger after the central midfielder drew 0-4 with three goals in a 7-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Friday night. Hairston said he admires Bellinger as a player and as a person and it makes him extremely angry that Bellinger won’t change his batting stance.
“You are such a good athlete that you can hit .200 this way. If you’re not a great athlete, you’ll get around (100), if so. He didn’t put himself in a position to hit,” Hairston said. “He is giving himself a hard time. He’s one of the best athletes in the world, and he doesn’t sport in a hitter’s box. That is the biggest conundrum for me.”
The more he talked about the subject, the more animated Hairston became. You can watch the full video below:
