Mookie Betts is entering his second season as the shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers, now with a full offseason to prepare for the unique demands of the position. After serving as a fill-in shortstop during the previous season, Betts has worked hard over the offseason, displaying notable improvement during Spring Training. His preparations fostered confidence in his defensive abilities, leading to an unblemished fielding percentage and a strong showing of skills in the Cactus League, indicating he could contend for MVP this season.
I can go home and sleep. I can go home and not have to stare at video all day, trying to figure things out. Like I said, I truly believe in my work and I'm giving it my all so I can lay my head down at night, knowing my work prepared me for any ball hit to me.
Instead of constantly feeling like a student cramming for a midterm the next day, Betts' preparation has him feeling confident in his ability to make all of the different plays required of a MLB shortstop.
