The Los Angeles Dodgers have no shortage of star power on their roster as they look to repeat as World Series champions. Two of their stars, outfielder Mookie Betts and pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, were listed among the dream teammates in the MLB coming in at T-1.
Betts' character is one of the main things that sets him apart, per some of his peers.
“He's such a good athlete and a good guy,” said a National League outfielder.
“Just watching him play the game, and from what I've heard, the respect he gets from everybody,” an NL reliever added on why Betts would be an ideal teammate.
“That guy is like the freakin' mayor,” another NL outfielder said. “And hearing that Mookie Betts is a fan of my game is pretty special to me. He's super gracious.”
Ohtani's process draws a lot of curiosity from his peers.
“I would love to play with him, just to see what he does every day,” an AL first baseman said.
Ohtani was once again compared to arguably the best to ever play the game due to his ability to make an impact both on the mound and at the plate.
“He's this day and age's Babe Ruth,” an NL outfielder said. “He's pretty special.”
