9 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Mookie Betts will remain Dodgers' shortstop next season.
- Betts earned a plus-6 Outs Above Average at shortstop in 2025.
- Betts will have only shortstop eligibility in fantasy leagues.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed on Monday that Mookie Betts will continue to play shortstop for the team in the upcoming season. This decision solidifies Betts' transition to the infield after a successful inaugural year at the position.
Betts demonstrated significant defensive prowess in his first full season as a shortstop in 2025, recording a plus-6 in Outs Above Average. His performance at the position was strong enough to earn the continued trust of the coaching staff.
With his established role at shortstop, Betts will enter the 2026 fantasy baseball campaign with eligibility exclusively at this position, having played only one inning in right field during the 2025 season.
