How Mookie Betts’ Position Switch Could Change Baseball History Forever
“We just want to win. We don’t care how we really get there,” Betts told ESPN. “The most important thing is winning. As for me, I don’t care. I genuinely do not care. I’ve said this a million times. I just want to win. You can put me wherever. As long as I’m on the diamond, I’m going to do the best I can do and we’ll see what happens after that.”
This time, though, Betts didn’t ace the test. The throw from shortstop didn’t come naturally, he was inconsistent fielding balls to his left, and Statcast rated him clearly below average. When he returned from a wrist injury later in the summer, the Dodgers pushed him back to right field for the championship run.
