Having helped the Los Angeles Dodgers end their World Series drought, Mookie Betts was ranked the No. 1 right fielder right now by MLB Network’s The Shredder for a second consecutive season. He previously placed atop the list in 2017 as well.
Like all of the other rankings compiled by The Shredder for this season, the evaluation of right fielders took into account a three-year sample because the 2020 season was shortened to just 60 games. It factored in WAR and wRC+ in addition to Statcast metrics. Defense was not weighed as heavily compared to center field.
