‘All-Star outfielder’ Mookie Betts (31, LA Dodgers) is expected to increase the number of second baseman part-time jobs. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts commented on the policy of using Betts.

Los Angeles area radio AM 570 LA Sports reported on the 14th (Korean time) that Betts will play about 20 games as a second baseman in the 2023 season.토토사이트

This is a quote from Roberts’ remarks. As a result, it is expected to see Betts play second base in far more games than last year.

Betts has experience as a second baseman in 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022, including 2014 in his major league debut. He appeared in 30 games as a career second baseman.

He also played 7 games last year as a second baseman. Betts is expected to play 20 more games as an infielder in the 2023 season.

This is to give Miguel Vargas (24), who will start as second baseman, periodic rest. In other words, Betts will step up to second base when Vargas is resting.

Betts, who will be celebrating his 10th year in the major leagues, recorded a batting average of 0.269, 35 homers, 82 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.340 and an OPS of 0.873 in 142 games last year.

This is his record for most home runs in a single season. Betts is expected to lead the LA Dodgers batting line along with Freddie Freeman (34) in the 2023 season.
