Mookie Betts Says New Workout Changed His Life

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts took up Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s workout routine this spring, and he’s already seeing the effects. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Noel Sanchez (@noisebynoel) Betts has worked with Yamamoto and his trainer Osamu Yada all spring, and he’s taken up new stretches, workouts like throwing javelins and even carrying Yada on his shoulders. Despite the odd nature of these exercises, Betts couldn’t be happier.

“They definitely changed my perspective, changed my life, my game,” Betts said . As far as why he picked up the regiment, Betts’ reasoning was rather straightforward: If Yamamoto’s so good, he’s doing something right. “I just want to get better,” Betts said.

“I’m not content with where I’m at. I want to continue to get better in everything and be able to teach my son how to be great. I have to go through it first.

When you’re open-minded, there’s endless possibilities. Yoshi came over, and they gave him $300 million, and he hadn’t even thrown a pitch, so I’m pretty sure he does something right. ” Mar 16, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Luis Rengifo (13) steals second base under the throw to Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts (50) in the first inning at Camelback Ranch-Glendale.
