Mookie Betts has transitioned back to being the starting shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025, fulfilling a long-held goal after starting as an outfielder in the MLB. During discussions, he emphasized how much he enjoys this return, comparing it to a recreational activity. Despite facing challenges and errors early on, he remains dedicated to embracing the learning process. His transition has brought a renewed energy to his performance, and he appreciates the Dodgers' efforts in building a roster that supports him in this role and his development at shortstop.
I genuinely love coming to work. Coming to work and going to work at short, it's actual fun for me. Like how people go play golf, that's how I feel coming to practice at shortstop.
It's hard. It's really hard, but it's fun. I'm catching myself in games asking Tommy and Munce, 'What do I do here?' Because some of these situations I've never been in.
