Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts had another stellar offensive game in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Nationals. Betts went 5-for-5 with three singles, two doubles, and two RBI. The 31-year-old has produced like a top fantasy pick, slashing .388/.490/.700 with six home runs, 22 runs scored, 18 RBI, and three stolen bases while hitting atop one of baseball's best lineups.
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop/outfielder Mookie Betts had a huge game on Thursday versus the San Diego Padres. Betts went 4-for-5 with two runs, six RBI and one walk. He also belted his first homer, a two-run rocket off Michael King in the fifth inning. Betts is always one of the strongest performers in the league and now is leading off with Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman behind him. In addition to his outfield and second base eligibility, Betts will soon pick up shortstop eligibility and that will only increase his already high value. Betts continues to put up top tier numbers on a yearly basis and there is no reason to believe that he will cool down this season at age 31. At the top of arguably the best lineup in the game, Betts remains entrenched as a first-round pick with sneaky position eligibility.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts is starting at shortstop Friday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Betts played shortstop for the first time in the big leagues in 2023, logging 98 innings at the position - and it appears he could be the team's primary shortstop to open the season after Gavin Lux has struggled with his glove at that spot so far in the spring. Lux is starting at second base Friday, as the two infielders could be swapping positions. According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, the move to shortstop for Betts is permanent. The 31-year-old enjoyed a massive season in 2023, hitting .307 with 39 home runs, 126 runs, 107 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and a .987 OPS in 152 games, finishing second in NL MVP voting behind Ronald Acuna Jr. His multi-position eligibility only increases his value fantasy value.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Mookie Betts expects to play second base exclusively in spring training this year. Betts joked that he didn't bring his outfielder's glove to camp. The Dodgers and Betts are fully committed to him playing on the dirt as the club's full-time second baseman in 2024. The 31-year-old All-Star will still be eligible as an outfielder in fantasy, but unless a need arises for Betts to move back to the outfield in 2024, this could be the last year he has dual eligibility. Betts had a fantastic 2023 season with the Blue, hitting .307 with 39 home runs, 14 stolen bases and 126 runs scored. His 107 RBI set the big-league record for most RB1 by a leadoff hitter. He won't last past the first round in fantasy drafts.
