The Dodgers moved Mookie Betts to shortstop during spring training. How is he doing at his new position?
Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell, and how is it we are almost one-third of the way through the season already?

This came after a poor spring at short by Gavin Lux, who was going to be the starter before he was shifted to second base to make room for Betts.
