How Mookie Betts’ Position Switch Could Change Baseball History Forever
The JAWS Hall of Fame rating system at Baseball Reference already ranks him as the eighth-best right fielder ever. Which is part of the difficulty for this poor future plaque scribe. More than a decade into this distinguished career, Betts is playing shortstop every night for one of the most talented teams ever assembled – a Los Angeles Dodgers team that seeks a second consecutive World Series title.
Climbing to the pinnacle of the game’s defensive spectrum in his 30s and conquering that turf would represent an extreme feat even for a player who inspired the #FeatsOfMookie hashtag. It would be a line unto itself on a plaque already threatening to overflow.
