""Absolutely, absolutely," Betts said. "I would have done the WBC had it - wouldn't for bad timing of having a child. But, um, kids are always a blessing, so. But yeah, if I get the opportunity to-to play in the-in the-the Olympics." The only thing missing for the 33-year-old superstar is an Olympic gold medal. Betts has done it all in his baseball career, but a gold medal would certainly take his status as an all-time great to another level."
"The last time Betts represented his county, he was phenomenal. He was a key outfielder for the team, where he recorded a .313 batting average with 10 hits, one RBI, one double and four runs scored in 32 at-bats and seven games. Can Mookie Betts Bounce Back After a Down Season? Betts played a prominent role for Team USA, and he is expected to do the same in L.A. as one of their best players. The six-time Silver Slugger had a down season in 2025, recording a career low .258 batting average."
Mookie Betts plans to play in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles if given the opportunity. The 33-year-old shortstop has achieved nearly everything in his career but lacks an Olympic gold medal. Betts represented the United States at the 2023 World Baseball Classic, hitting .313 with 10 hits, one RBI, one double and four runs in 32 at-bats across seven games. He opted out of Team USA this season due to the anticipated birth of his third child. After a down 2025 campaign (.258 batting average), he remains expected to bat third in the Dodgers lineup with Kyle Tucker easing some pressure.
