A POV video of Mookie Betts in practice, giving advice to his cousin taking groundballs at shortstop.
January 27, 2026
Video from Nick Shumpert, he's is a minor leaguer. Don't get a view from this angle often, thought it was an interesting video given how recent and seamless the transition was for Mookie.

Really neat. Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome. Shows the one of the many nuances of the game every player tries to perfect
i could take GB’s all day this video was like microdosing ecstasy
It’s always cool to see how much longer those throws are than they look on TV.
Really cool
Aww I miss Mookie!
Literally my dream
Fuck John Henry
Having content like this about fundamentals is great I wish there was more of this
Mookie is such an amazing player and human. I hope he bounces back strong in 2026.
This is so cool. An outfielder’s POV angle would be baller as well.
Oh man my son is gonna love this. Thanks for sharing.
I am so impressed that someone used “POV” correctly
Looks like proof LAD is circumventing the luxury tax. Theres no way the value of being able to do this is being factored into Betts’ compensation. No way we dont get a lockout /s
Awesome to see and hear
MOOKIE SAYS YOU CAN GEAR DOWN TO 30. GOOD ADVISE
There are some sports which look so beautiful and pure. I can imagine the players miss it when they retire.
I’m just excited for baseball coming back
This is actually POV of his cousin taking ground balls with Mookie giving him advice
I played exactly two years of baseball in my life. One year of tee ball and one year of benchwarming in high school.
But I feel like with Mookie as a teacher even I could be something approaching decent.
That would be funny if the dodgers got so good and expensive the top 15 players just informed them they aren’t going to spring training no more. We’ll just practice here
Can’t go wrong with tips from futer HOFer
Guy closes out a single World Series with a winning double play at a position then starts giving out advice like he’s been there the whole time smh 🙄 stick to critiquing 7-10 splits buddy, let the rest of us focus on 6-3 double plays
wtf does this right fielder know about SS
Trust me, the RailRoaders NEED this sort of help
Man I really wanna go play ball now.
Mookie is so awesome. What a good dude.
I can watch that all day
Great content, still can’t believe the Red Sox traded this guy.
It has begun 😳
What does “lost my tilt” mean? It’s to do with ensuring the ball flies with a “slice” (i.e., drifts to the right, probably to ensure the ball’s flying with backspin) instead of diving. But what’s the mechanic?
Bro I wish
I don’t recall his move being seamless, I’ve heard him and Miguel Rojas talk about it being a lot of hard work for Mookie to get strong at SS. Good on him putting in the time to refine his technique at SS
Mookie is a cool dude
I can hear him stutter stepping and tell the footwork is bad.
They are practicing in Dodger’s Stadium… so awesome.
For someone that has never played, why does Mookie want to see the ball drift to the right on the throw rather than go dead straight?
It must be so nice to play on a field of this quality. Pros are very fortunate that field maintenance has come a long way.
Are they renovating something along the Loge level?
Damn…
this is so so good and effing frightening. baseball is so hard.
For me, heaven is taking infield ground balls on a professionally manicured ball field with no pain in my knees, hips, or shoulder.
