Betts embraces splitting his time between right field (61 games), second base (26) and shortstop (14) and is putting together his best season since winning the 2018 AL MVP.
When you tell Mookie Betts the numbers indicate he hits better when he plays the infield, he will point out that playing the outfield has never really held him back.
“I don’t see how he couldn’t be in the MVP voting in the sense that the value, the ability to be able to move all over the diamond and be able to play it at an elite clip has opened a lot of options for me and our roster,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who has compared the multi-faceted effect of Betts’ versatility to the “incomparable” things Shohei Ohtani does.
“This is like summer ball. I remember summer ball I would play short one game, second one game, center one game. So I’m not nervous. This is just normal.” Betts makes it clear he also considers himself “a pretty good infielder” and anyone surprised by his ability to handle second base or shortstop defensively hasn’t been listening. He hasn’t made an error in more than 200 innings at second base this season.
