Mookie Betts Gains Eight Pounds
2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts gained eight pounds in the offseason to add some strength. It came at the recommendation of Driveline, where he went this winter "because my employer told me to." Betts made his sixth All-Star team in 2022 and also clubbed a career-high 35 home runs while slashing .269/.340/.533 with an .873 OPS, 82 RBI, a league-high 117 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in 639 plate appearances in 142 games. The increased power was nice, but it also led to a lower batting average, and the 30-year-old also isn't running nearly as much as he did earlier in his career with the Boston Red Sox. Betts isn't in the discussion as one of the first players off the board in fantasy drafts anymore, but he's still a fine first-round selection.
