Mookie Betts

Drills first spring homer

Betts went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's Cactus League win over the Reds.

Analysis

Betts went deep for the first time this spring with a 393-foot shot to left-center field in the third inning. He's seen more action than any of the Dodgers' projected regulars during the exhibition slate, which is likely a result of the team wanting him to get further acclimated to playing shortstop, where he's expected to spend most of his time this season. Over eight Cactus League contests, Betts is slashing .278/.333/.444, with Tuesday's homer being his first extra-base hit.
