Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger smacked a solo homer to the second deck in right field to pull the Cubs within four runs at 3-4 in the seventh inning against the Miami Marlins on Saturday.

The home run was Bellinger's sixth of the season and traveled an estimated 411 feet. It was a prime example of the power that Bellinger possesses, and why he has become such an important player for the Cubs this season.

Bellinger's home run on Saturday also showcased his impressive rate of hitting home runs this season. He is currently averaging a home run every 14.5 at-bats, which is his best rate since his 2019 MVP season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

With his power and ability to change the game with one swing of the bat, Bellinger is quickly becoming one of the most exciting players on the Cubs' roster.
