The MLB Home Run Derby has come and gone, and we have reached a conclusion about something – Mookie Betts isn’t really much of the home run hitter we think he is. At least in that format.
And his Dodgers teammate, J.D. Martinez, can attest to that as he doesn’t consider the seven-time All-Star as a power hitter.
Despite being tied third in the majors with the most home runs so far this season (26), Betts should mostly be considered as the Dodgers’ best in-game hitter.
Martinez is usually the one that gives Betts a hard time during batting practice.
