Mookie Betts was born on October 7th, 1992 in the city of Nashville, which is located in Tennessee. In the Major League Baseball, he plays right field. When playing for the Red Sox in 2018, he made history by becoming the first player in the history of Major League Baseball to win the batting championship, Most Valuable Player, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, and World Series all in the same season.

The Red Sox selected Betts in the first round of the 2011 draught, and he made his debut in the Major League Baseball in the 2014 season, playing second base and the outfield. In 2014, he was moved to the centre field position for the Red Sox, and then in 2016, he was moved to the right field position.

Betts made his debut with the Dodgers in 2021, which also happened to be his first year as a member of the National League All-Star Team. Due to injuries, he was unable to participate in the game. He has had issues with both his back and his left shoulder all throughout this year. His career with the Dodgers included 122 games, during which he had a batting average of.264, 23 home runs, and 58 RBI.

As a result of being picked as a starting outfielder for the National League All-Star Team in 2022, he was able to make his sixth appearance at the Major League Baseball All-Star game, which was hosted at Dodger Stadium that year.
