Mookie Betts is looking to get back on track in his seventh season with the Los Angeles Dodgers after uncharacteristically struggling at the plate last year.
Betts’ 2025 season got off to an ominous start as a lengthy stomach virus prevented him from playing in the Tokyo Series. He lost roughly 20 pounds because of the illness, which compromised his strength and bat speed for a large part of the year.
Betts’ diminished bat speed played a major role in his offensive struggles as he hit just .258/.326/.406 with 23 doubles, 20 home runs and 82 RBI in 150 games.
