4 stats you should know about Mookie Betts’s three-homer game
Mookie Betts can sure put on a show.
The 23-year-old outfielder launched three home runs and drove in five of the six Boston runs in what was an historic night for a Red Sox leadoff hitter Tuesday night.
“He’s got five tools and he’s smart,” David Ortiz said via MLB.com. “I really believe that he’s getting to that point where he understands what he needs to do. He works extremely hard. … Being so young, its just impressive the way he handles business.”
Here are some of the impressive feats that Betts accomplished at Camden Yards:
