In a weekend that Juan Soto’s return to Yankee Stadium was supposed to be the biggest storyline, Cody Bellinger took to the national stage to remind people he’s pretty good at baseball too. After a slow start to the season, Bellinger is now in the midst of a 13 game hitting streak and drove in six of the Yankees eight runs in the series-winning game on “Sunday Night Baseball,” thanks to a double and a grand slam.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. In his first season in Pinstripes, Bellinger is starting to show the bat that helped him win the 2017 National League Rookie of the Year and 2019 MVP awards. With that being said, how many of the players in MLB history to win both Rookie of the Year and MVP honors in their career can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
