Is Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts the next Willie Mays?

Mookie Betts is having a great season for the Boston Red Sox, hitting .340 with 28 home runs and 68 RBI’s. Some people think he has the potential to be Hall Of Famer Willie Mays. Personally, I think it’s way too soon to be putting Betts in that category yet.

Betts was drafted in the fifth round of the 2011 Draft. From there he would quickly develop in the Red Sox farm system. Betts played in a Gulf Coast league right after he was drafted which was the CGL Red Sox. He collected two hits in four at-bats.
