Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger finally got off the hitless streak to start the season.

After going 0-12 in his first three games of the season, Bellinger was due for a breakout moment. And he delivered in a big way on Monday, crushing a breaking ball pitch and sending it an estimated 384 feet.

It was a three-run homer, AKA 'Belli-Bomb' on a breaking ball pitch to put the Cubs up 3-0 in the first inning against the Cincinnati Reds.

Bellinger's homer was not only important for the Cubs' success in the game, but it was also a relief for fans who have been eagerly waiting for him to get going at the plate.

He is known for his power and ability to drive in runs, and Cubs fans are hoping that this homer is a sign of more good things to come.
