DBD CLASSICS: "Mookie's Best"

Originally published June 11, 2024. After completing his first full season at the premier position of shortstop, Mookie Betts is in line to possibly win the Gold Glove award in 2025. He finished the season with 17 Defensive Runs Saved, a metric that assesses a player’s overall defensive value to a team. That is insane! To understand why, listen to this DBD Classic: “Mookie’s Best.”

In his quest to become "a legend in the game," Mookie Betts, the Dodgers dapper and diminuitive leadoff man, attempts the impossible: playing shortstop at the professional level for the first time, at the age of 31.
