Mookie Betts has been on a power tear this season, especially of late. After another home run in his first at-bat on Friday night (and two so far on the night), the All-Star outfielder has 22 bombs on the year and thanks to that homer being of the leadoff variety, he tied a Dodgers franchise mark set by old friend Joc Pederson in 2019.
It was his 9th leadoff home run of the season, tying Pederson with 81 games left to be played.
Mookie Betts’ 9 leadoff homers this season are tied for the most in a season in Dodgers’ franchise history with:
