Mookie Betts was an absolute force in 2018.
The Boston Red Sox right fielder established himself as one of the premiere all-around players in the game, winning the American League MVP Award after batting .346 with 32 home runs and 80 RBIs. He also won a Gold Glove for his play in right field.
Oh, and to top it off, he helped the Red Sox to a World Series title.
Betts appeared on MLB Network Radio on Wednesday and credited his parents for his drive to succeed and said he still has more to learn as the 2019 season approaches.
Betts has become one of the most watchable players in the game for his highlight-reel abilities at the dish and in the outfield. But above all, it seems that Betts has remained incredibly humble and hungry, which is a big part of what makes him a fan favorite in Boston.
