"Mookie is doing something in our game that's unprecedented,"
"I've always respected him and the way he plays the game, going back to when he was with the Red Sox,"
"Makes playing shortstop look easy for a guy that's a Gold Glover in right field. He's just consistent. I think he understands the speed of the game, understands big stages of the game. "
"I think any manager feels comfortable and confident writing a lineup when you got a guy like that in there eve"
Mookie Betts prepared to move from right field to second base to preserve his health under a long-term Dodgers contract, then was shifted to shortstop due to Gavin Lux's throwing struggles. He showed capability at shortstop and finished the 2024 World Series in right field because it best suited the Dodgers. The Dodgers committed to Betts as their full-time shortstop for the following season, and he trained extensively in the offseason. Betts received consistent praise from manager Dave Roberts, teammates, and opposing managers for his defensive performance, adaptability, and understanding of the game despite offensive questions.
