Betts changes position at 32
Starting with the Seoul Series in March, Mookie Betts (32, Los Angeles Dodgers), who showed amazing performance at the beginning of the season, cooled down.
Betts had a batting average of 0.346, six homers, 27 RBIs, 32 runs scored, 53 hits, and a 0.451 OPS 1.006 in 39 games of the season until the 9th (Korea time).
What a figure. Betts has an OPS of over 1.000, even as he moves from outfield to shortstop at the age of 32.
As a result, Betts ranks first in the FWAR overall in the Major League. However, his batting pace has not been very good lately. It reminds me of September last year.
In the seven games he played this month, Betts only posted a batting average of 0.259 with a on-base percentage of 0.285 with an OPS of 0.545. He failed to record a single homer or even a single long hit.
This figure is very different from the total batting average of 0.368 and the on-base percentage of 0.477 OPS of 1.101 between March and April. The only thing maintained is the walk-and-strike ratio.
Also, Betts has never tried to steal a base this month. There is a possibility that his physical burden comes from watching shortstop.
Betts' batting decline started in mid-April. From April 18 to May 1, he posted a batting average of 0.333 and an on-base percentage of 0.455 OPS of 0.943.
Of course, his performance has significantly decreased compared to his previous record of 0.388 in batting average and 0.490 OPS 1.190. His performance has been declining.
Earlier in August last year, Betts booked the MVP award with a batting average of 0.455, 11 homers, 30 RBIs, 35 runs and 51 hits, and an on-base percentage of 0.516 OPS 1.355.
However, he cooled down like a lie with a batting average of 0.244 and an on-base percentage of 0.393 OPS of 0.718 in September. Since then, Betts has not had a single hit in three postseason games.
Betts is clearly one of the best players in the Major League, but a change of position from outfielder to shortstop at the age of 32 can cause physical problems.
In addition, the LA Dodgers is a team that can score enough points without Betts, and there is a way to give him a break by adjusting Betts' batting order.
