Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger continues to smash home runs at a historic pace.

Bellinger hit his 30th homer of the season Wednesday off Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran to become the third-fastest player (87 games) to reach the mark since 1900, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

Only former Detroit Tiger catcher Rudy York (79 games in 1937) and ex-Oakland Athletics first baseman Mark McGwire (84 games in 1987) hit their first 30 dingers in fewer games than Bellinger.
