Mookie Betts

Betts's first year with the Dodgers was basically exactly what fantasy managers expected - that is to say it was pretty much in line with what he did with the Red Sox. If you want to quibble, his walk rate dropped a few percentage points and he struck out at a career-worst 15.4% clip. But at this point, there are few safer players than Betts - you know he'll give you strong production in all five categories and he bats atop one of the best lineups in all of baseball. Betts should be a top-three pick and there's every reason to consider him number one overall. The downside is borderline non-existent.

Fantasy Impact

Betts was traded from the Red Sox to the Dodgers during the 2020 offseason. His impressive performance was one of the main reasons the Dodgers won the World Series. Betts was terrific in his first campaign with the Dodgers, slashing .292/.366/.562 with 16 home runs, 39 RBI, 47 runs and 10 stolen bases over 246 plate appearances. The 28-year-old OF won the AL MVP Award in 2018.
