MLB Network analyst Mark DeRosa named Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts one of the greatest defensive players of all time when discussing his fantastic season in the infield.
Betts predominantly played right field for the first nine seasons of his MLB career, winning six Gold Gloves while doing so. Over the past three years with the Dodgers, he has begun a shift to shortstop, and played there for all but one inning during the 2025 regular season.
Despite the drastic difference in positions, Betts has settled in at shortstop and has become one of the league’s best fielders at the position.
