Totally wrong, 0.5% of players from high schools are drafted to play minor league ball. He was drafted, a coddled player who his uncle, a former major leaguer, trained. Spoiled to the core, was recruited by the best high school team in Nashville, no one beats them -- they recruit. I played against this team Overton high school. They recruit players, have the best field and win every single year, it's a tragedy. It is a miracle he's the best player to come out of a dysfunctional high school system of baseball in Nashville-- that I agree with.

Dude is still criminally underrated. I maintain he’s the best all around baseball player in the game since about 2017. His 2018 season with the Res Sox is among the best ever, and since then he’s been the catalyst for the most successful franchise in sports. He’s simply very good at minimum, and more often outstanding, at every single thing he’s asked to do. Stats alone can’t capture what players like Mookie bring to a team.

Mookie Betts was incredibly humble/kind when signed a ball for me while he was playing for Pawtucket. Two weeks later he was called up to the show and torched the league. He will forever be my favorite player regardless of who he’s playing for.

I like Mookie Betts but what I don't like is how MLB and youtubers like this guy make him look better than he is. At the minute 8:22 "Thanks to Mookie that happened" WTF ? Oh yes I remember the Grandslam on Game 5 when the Dodgers were down in the series 3-1 .. Oh and yes I also remember the 2 home runs on game 6 sorry my bad .. Oh and what about the walk off in game 7 against the Braves to win the series !!! Lol Sorry but Mookie Betts is a little overrated. While he is great. The credit should be to all Dodgers players. The Will Smith Home Run vs Will Smith. Cody Bellinger go ahead homer vs Chris Martin. Justin Turner's fantastic play at Third. Julio Urias. Etc. Mookie Betts just did 2 good catches. I bet any other outfielder would catch those baseballs. I don't think he was the only one on this planet making those plays. Kind of overrated plays because they were just fly balls. Not even home run robberies.
