Mookie Betts is one of the many big name players participating in the World Baseball Classic, which begins Tuesday night. Team USA is loaded with talent, and Betts is among the players trying to defend the crown for America.
With such a stacked roster, Betts, who is a six-time Gold Glove Award winner in right field, is actually going to be in somewhat of a utility role. He’s likely to play both in right field and at second base, which will be good practice for this upcoming season with the Dodgers.
Betts is likely to get some work at second base this season with LA, so the WBC will be a great first look at Betts playing meaningful games at the position.
