Obviously, the hot start ( about 1/3 of the season) is why the majority of MVP voters gave it to Bellinger. After that he had monthly BA of .272, .265, .235, & .280 Bellinger's OPS also declined each and every month. Then when it really counts, Post Season, the MVP couldn't help get his team out of their first match up as he hit .211 - yes, that's correct, post season BA almost sub-.200 and slugging at .263 Yes, I know post season supposedly doesn't count toward the voting. Regardless, there are your 2019 MVP numbers folks ... oh, boy...need to find that emoji where the eyes roll back. Y'know, the voters don't always get it right. Go back in MVP voting history and there are headscratchers. Dimaggio won it over Ted Williams one year when hands down Teddy had the far superior year. Oh, well, the human element, we don't always get it right.
