Default Cody Bellinger
I was thinking about the career of Cody Bellinger...RoY, MVP, considered one of the top power hitters in the game a few years back, and then seemingly forgot how to hit.

Can you think of other players (current or historical) that had a similar arc?

Zoilo Versalles might be one. He won the MVP at age 25 and was out of the league at 31, never again hitting over 249 or putting up an OPS+ over 100.

Daryl Strawberry looked like a lock HOFer early on.

Kris bryant to a lesser extent as well. Won ROY and MVP in back to back seasons. Been pretty mediocre ever since. Only 2 All Star selections in the next 6 seasons.

Good comparisons.. I recall reading about Bellinger tinkering with his swing, and how that might have been a big part of it. The decline happened at such a young age, too.

Straw never forgot how to hit. Last full season for the Yankees had 24 HR in a year where he was diagnosed with cancer.

Drug issues, legal issues, and cancer. Amazing he hit as well as he did as long as he did. Guy was a generational talent. Obviously didn't fulfill his potential.

Never accomplished what Bellinger did but there will always be the cautionary tale of Chris Davis.

Was his swing technically a little long, maybe, but a thing of beauty to watch.

Agree HOFer that sabotaged his own career with Drugs and other issues. Also a Great person.
Met him at a HOF induction ceremony and he was signing autographs and dale Murphy next table over (for money of course). WE were waiting online and we were at His table and because Dale was signing real slow we just waited. During the wait Darryl was talking to my sign and I, signed extra things (no extra charge) and did some pictures with my son and I. and He looked in Game shape.
