Mookie Betts’ move to shortstop is changing the Dodgers

Mookie Betts has completely transformed the Dodgers’ defense since moving to shortstop, and manager Dave Roberts isn’t budging on the decision. Despite fans calling for Betts to return to right field, Roberts says Betts’ consistency and spectacular plays at shortstop have made him irreplaceable. Betts has overcome illness, injury, and personal loss this season, yet he’s batting .329 over the last three weeks and anchoring the infield. As the Dodgers fight to stay on top in the NL West, Betts’ resilience and leadership are making a real difference. What do you think—should he stay at shortstop or go back to the outfield? #Sports #Baseball #Dodgers

Long term he better be in right field. Bouncing back and forth is killing his offense. Only hitting .252 one of his worst seasons.

well if they would of kept a top hitting shortstop like Trea Turner they be up by 10 games. That GM is terrible. spend all your money a DH give up 5 players salaries. Proves it takes more than 1 player.

Hopefully his defense continues to improve. I see a play in many games that a premier SS makes and Mookie doesn't. He has the physical tools, just needs to keep refining his D at the SS position.

Shortstop of course yes I know he's a great right fielder and a golden glove winner but the team needs a thinking SS and he's it...Teo can do it has done it and gave up the chance to defend his Homerun title from last year Othani told him what to look for must be a great teacher Mookie can do likewise everyone makes mistakes even when they're playing heads up ball the bull pen can still let them down bah humbug!?!🕶️
