""It's been cool. It is what it is. I'm just happy that I can help the boys win, I can contribute," Betts said Wednesday. "It's better late than never.""
""But it's just one of those things where you've just gotta keep going, man. I went through arguably one of the worst years of my career. But I think it really made me mentally tough. So now there's just a different level of focus. And it's not really on myself; it's more on winning the game.""
Mookie Betts recorded six hits in the NL Wild Card Series, finishing 4-for-5 with three doubles and three RBIs to help the Dodgers advance to the NL Division Series. Betts declared his season over in August after posting career-worst offensive numbers, then began to rebound late in the season. The 32-year-old credited the difficult stretch with strengthening his mental approach and shifting his focus away from himself toward winning. Betts expressed gratitude for contributing to teammates. The Dodgers will begin Games 1 and 2 of the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park, a challenging road environment, while manager Dave Roberts seeks reliable relief options.
