Mookie Betts has been performing poorly with a .167 batting average and a .441 OPS in his last 20 games, marking a career-worst stretch. Manager Dave Roberts attempted to move Betts to the leadoff spot but has now returned him to the No. 2 position. Other players like Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages are also underperforming. Despite the slump, Betts maintains elite plate discipline, ranking in the 94th percentile for strikeout rate and 87th for swing-and-miss rate.
"Manager Dave Roberts moved Mookie Betts back to the No. 2 spot on Sunday after trying him in the leadoff position to spark his production."
"Roberts expressed that moving Betts further down in the lineup is a possibility but is focused on determining what would be best for both Betts and the team."
