Mookie Betts To Lead Off For Dodgers
5 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Mookie Betts will be the team's primary leadoff hitter in 2019. Betts has hit leadoff in 562 of his career 780 at-bats. The 2018 American League MVP and four-time All-Star is moving to the top of perhaps the best lineup in baseball. He hit .295/.391/.524 with 29 home runs, 80 RBI, 135 runs scored and 16 stolen bases in 150 games last year. As such, Betts should be a top-five fantasy draft pick in the first round for his ability to contribute across the board for fantasy owners. It could be another huge season for the 27-year-old in his first year in Hollywood.
