TORONTO -- For all the things Mookie Betts did that got the attention of Boston Red Sox amateur scout Danny Watkins, it was something he didn't do that stood out most.
"I don't remember seeing him swing and miss," Watkins said.
And it wasn't like Watkins watched Betts play only once or twice. He spent weeks around the John Overton High School baseball team in suburban Nashville, Tennessee, in 2010 and 2011 and saw dozens of games. Watkins has plenty of stories about the ease with which Betts hit line drives to every part of the field, terrorized opponents on the bases and made diving stops and leaping catches at shortstop.
