Cody Bellinger is the hottest name in Major League Baseball right now.

Ending the month of April, he has one of the best starts in MLB history.

On Sunday in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he hit his 14th home run and tied the record with Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez for the most home runs hit before May 1st.

Cody also recently became the first player in MLB history to have 37 RBIs before May 1st.

He also now is the sole record holder two other early season records which include most hits, 44 hits, and most total bases, 96 bases, before May 1st.

His current batting average is .434 as of April 30th.

Out of both the American League and the National League, Bellinger has the highest batting average overall.

His current strikeout rate is 11.7 which is down a lot from his rate of 23.9 last season.

He has had 15 strikeouts total in these past 30 games.

Recently he was hit in the knee with a 96 mph fastball but thankfully escaped major injuries.

Right now, as of April 30th, Cody Bellinger has the best odds for winning the Home Run Derby.

His odds are 6/1 for the derby.

Cody Bellinger received the Rookie of the Year award in 2017 and has only gotten better since that point.

Currently, Cody's biggest competition is Christian Yelich, who plays for the Milwaukee Brewers as an outfielder.

These two have crossed paths and have engaged in friendly conversation.

They both acknowledge the success of one another and stay civil towards each other.

Last year during the World Series playoffs they met on the field to see who would be heading to the World Series.

I personally think that Cody Bellinger is one of the biggest MVPs for the Dodgers right now due to his incredible statistics and outstanding performance.

For only his third year in the major leagues, he has surely made a big name for himself and absolutely has made his presence known.

Bellinger hits absolutely amazing against right-handed pitchers (RHP) and they should watch out.

I don't think that we have seen all of what he is capable of yet and I think that there is a lot more coming from Dodger player #35.

Dave Roberts is beyond proud of Bellinger's current success and continues to make sure that he is training hard and continuing to make all of his Dodger fans proud.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
