"I know people probably won't like this" - Dodgers star Mookie Betts names Carlos Correa as one of the shortstops who impresses him the most

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts is one of the most impressive athletes in the MLB. One of the other reasons why Betts is such an enjoyable player to watch is his versatility.

"Mookie Betts, shortstop" - @ChadMoriyama

The 31-year-old has never been shy of a new challenge. Throughout his 11-year MLB career, Mookie Betts has played multiple defensive positions, including the outfield, second base, and now shortstop. Even though there have been some struggles at times, Betts has successfully managed to play each position at a major league level.

The transition to shortstop is certainly not an easy one for any player, however, Betts has not shied away from the challenge. Although it is an impressive display on his part, Betts knows there is work to be done. As a student of the position, Mookie Betts has monitored shortstops from across the MLB, and given an honest response when asked about which ones impress him the most.

"Mookie Betts named Francisco Lindor, Dansby Swanson and Carlos Correa as shortstops he's impressed by. "I know people probably won't like this," he said before naming Correa." - @DodgerBlue1958

The Dodgers star named the likes of Francisco Lindor and Dansby Swanson, but also named a more polarizing star. "I know people probably won't like this," Betts said before answering Carlos Correa as one of the shortstops who impresses him the most. This statement may not be something that Dodgers fans will want to hear.

Dodgers fans may not be thrilled with Mookie Betts praising Carlos Correa

The former Houston Astros All-Star has been a polarizing figure across the MLB for several reasons, but most notably his role in the 2017 Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal. Carlos Correa, along with the likes of Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman will forever be tied to the scandal, especially with Dodgers fans, who felt that they were cheated out of a title.

During the 2017 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers took on the Houston Astros in a tightly contested series. Ultimately, the Astros won the title in Game 7, however, it was revealed that the team had been involved in a sign-stealing scandal, leaving many doubting the legitimacy of the title. Even though the Dodgers went on to win the title in 2020, many fans still feel robbed of another one.
