Dodgers analyst Jerry Hairston Jr criticizes CF Cody Bellinger's plate struggles

Cody Bellinger has continued to disappoint at the plate for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, and it seems like no one is more frustrated by the struggles than Jerry Hairston Jr.

Hairston, who played for nine different teams across 16 MLB seasons, now works as a Dodgers analyst for SportsNet LA. He unloaded on Bellinger after the centerfielder went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a 7-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Friday night. Hairston said he admires Bellinger as a player and person and that it infuriates him that Bellinger will not alter his batting stance.

“You’re such a good athlete that you’re able to hit .200 this way. If you weren’t a great athlete, you’d hit about (.100), if that. He doesn’t put himself in position to hit,” Hairston said. “He’s making it so hard on himself. He’s one of the best athletes in the world, and he’s un-athletic in the batter’s box. That is the biggest conundrum to me.”

The more he said about the topic, the more animated Hairston became. You can see the full video below:
