Career

Bellorín was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 10, 1998, as an undrafted free agent. He spent six years in the Dodgers minor league system, never playing more than 100 games in a season. He declared free agency on October 15, 2006, and would later sign with the Colorado Rockies for the 2007 season. He began the year with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, the Rockies Triple-A affiliate. On August 6, 2007, he had his contract purchased by the big league club. He replaced struggling catcher Chris Ianetta on the Rockies' active roster.

On August 7, 2007, Bellorín played in his first MLB game, which was an 11–4 Rockies home win over the Milwaukee Brewers. He made one plate appearance, hitting into a double play, then injured his hamstring running to first base. He was placed on the disabled list afterwards.
