All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been voted April’s National League Player of the Month, and shortstop Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox has been named the American League Player of the Month.

Bellinger earned his first career NL Player of the Month Award, and his third monthly award overall, following a pair of Rookie of the Month Awards during his NL Rookie of the Year-winning 2017 campaign (May & June).

Bellinger is the first Dodgers player to take home Player of the Month honors since Adrián González for April 2015.

Anderson claimed his first career AL Player of the Month Award and the first for the White Sox since his teammate José Abreu for July 2014 during his AL Rookie of the Year-winning season.

• Batted .375 (36-for-96) with 21 runs scored, five doubles, six home runs, 18 RBI, 10 stolen bases and a .615 slugging percentage across 23 games played.
• His .375 batting average was the fourth-highest mark by a White Sox player in March/April since 1981, trailing only Juan Uribe (.393 in 2004), Paul Konerko (.383 in 2012) and Hall of Famer Frank Thomas (.379 in 1996). His .480 batting average at home was the highest home average for March/April in franchise history.
• Began the 2019 campaign with a 10-game hitting streak, the third-longest streak to begin a season for the White Sox in team history, trailing Alexei Ramirez (17 in 2014), Thomas (15 in 1996) and Lance Johnson (14 in 1993). Batted .488 (20-for-41) with eight runs scored, two doubles and two home runs during his torrid start.
Became the first player in franchise history to bat .375-or-better with at least six home runs and 10 stolen bases during a month, and the sixth different player in MLB history, joining Brian Roberts (April 2005), Eric Davis (July 1986), Hall of Famers Rickey Henderson (June 1985) and Joe Morgan (August 1976 & June 1975), and Max Carey (July 1922).

Yelich, alongside Bellinger, matched Albert Pujols (2006) and Alex Rodriguez for the most home runs prior to May 1 in Major league history. His 14 round-trippers were the most in franchise history for any month, eclipsing the record previously held by Prince Fielder, who clubbed 13 homers in May 2007.
