Dodgers' Mookie Betts impresses as co-host of MLB Awards show

Betts' teammate, catcher Will Smith, said that Betts' confidence is what allows him to do anything.

"He's just a confident guy who can go play a sport, or he can go out on stage and host an event like this," teammate Will Smith said to Sonja Chen of MLB.com. "It's just confidence."

Mookie Betts has a future in television when he retires

Betts' talent and personality will suit him perfectly for a job in television as a baseball analyst or host when he decides to retire. At 33 and still signed with the Dodgers for another seven years (roughly $194 million), Betts still has time before that’s a possibility. 

He also hosts his own podcast with Bleacher Report called “On Base with Mookie Betts.” This practice, through his podcasting, has paid off and will help in his endeavors down the road. 

Betts could be a likely candidate to join Fox’s pre- and post-game shows with Kevin Burkhardt, Hall of Fame shortstop Derek Jeter, Hall of Fame designated hitter David Ortiz and three-time MVP third baseman Alex Rodriguez in the future.
