Dodgers’ Mookie Betts Has Epic Response When Asked If He’s Proven He Can Play Shortstop

Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts made the unprecedented transition from right field to shortstop for the 2025 season.

Betts has six Gold Glove awards in right field, but chose to move to the infield for the Dodgers. With just over a month remaining in the regular season, how has Betts fared in his new position?

The Dodgers star has done quite well.

Entering Sunday’s series finale against the San Diego Padres, Betts was tied for second among shortstops in Defensive Runs Saved. He trails only the Tampa Bay Rays’ Taylor Walls in that defensive metric.
