The Mookie Betts experiment at shortstop is going to make a return during spring training.
The Los Angeles Dodgers remain confident that Betts will be their Opening Day shortstop, expecting that an offseason of work with new first-base coach Chris Woodward will lead to defensive improvements — something difficult to achieve during his brief stint at the position last season.
“I feel like I’m just a completely new person out there,” Betts said of his work at the position this winter during Dodger Fest on Saturday.
Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts reflect on the Dodgers’ championship run, share their goals for the upcoming season and more.
