Markus Lynn "Mookie" Betts (born October 7, 1992) is an American professional baseball right fielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Betts was drafted by the Red Sox in 2011, and made his MLB debut in the 2014 season, sharing time between second base and the outfield. He became the Red Sox starting center fielder in 2014, before moving to right field in 2016.
As a relatively short natural second baseman with a high contact rate and a high level of production when pulling the ball, Betts has been compared to fellow Red Sox player Dustin Pedroia.
Betts is also a professional bowler for the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA). He once bowled a perfect 300 score in the PBA World Series of Bowling.
He won the 2018 World Series with the Red Sox, claiming the AL MVP award for his dominant batting and fielding form throughout the season.
In 2018 he became the first player in American League history to win the World Series, Silver Slugger, Golden Glove, AL batting title, and MVP award in the same year.
