Allow me to point out the obvious; 2025 has been the worst offensive season in Mookie Betts’ entire big league career.
That isn’t to say that he hasn’t been valuable at times for the Dodgers offense. Although he had just one hit in the weekend series against the San Diego Padres, it happened to be a go-ahead home run that ultimately made the difference in the Dodgers’ sweep of San Diego.
Since receiving a standing ovation on Aug. 4, he has slashed .341/.400/.523 with two home runs, nine RBI, 12 runs scored, and walking four times to just three strikeouts over his past 11 games. Betts acknowledged that it had been a long time since delivering in the clutch late in the game, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, as it was his first go-ahead home run hit in the eighth inning or later si
