“The offseason after the 2014 season, I worked with hitting coach Damon...” — Cody Bellinger Quote

“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.”

“Sometimes, there is not a lot of pressure, so you can relax.”

“I think about my dad and how tough he had it. They treated us a lot better in our minor league system, especially with the food. But the bus rides were no joke.”

“Historically, if you look at all my signings, when I first work with a player there is nearly always a period of adjustment.”

“Much as soldiers come back, they've been in combat or the edge of it and suddenly that adjustment back to civilian life is a real challenge.”

“I started producing in California, and they called it mob music. When I moved to Atlanta, the sound was different. People in Atlanta didn't like to rap over West Coast beats. So I had to make adjustments to what was going on in the South.”
