Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said on Monday that the plan is for All-Star Mookie Betts, pictured, to play shortstop in 2025, further specifying after last month’s declaration only that the six-time Gold Glove-winning outfielder would play “infield.” DALLAS — This time, Mookie Betts has a full winter to prepare for shortstop, and the Dodgers are confident he’ll be able to do it.
Betts, a six-time Gold Glove winner in the outfield, was moved to second base last winter. Midway through spring training, however, the Dodgers decided to move Betts to shortstop “It was really syncing up his throw from that because he’s been so used to the outfield. So I think that’ll be the majority of his work. Making sure, how does he access what is an elite arm and having that translate to the infield.”
Roberts also said he was shocked that it took just a year to break the record the Dodgers set last year
