Red Sox OF Mookie Betts: It’s all about confidence

Betts says the Red Sox veterans have helped him immensely this spring.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- The Red Sox roster has some pretty established names on it – like David Ortiz, Hanley Ramirez, and Pablo Sandoval.

But this spring training, the big name has been Mookie Betts. The 22-year-old says it’s all about confidence.

“Believing in yourself shows when you’re out on the field,” said Betts.

Betts is hitting a blistering .458 this spring, and his 8 doubles rank second among all players.

“He’s the best prospect we have in the organization,” said Red Sox OF Hanley Ramirez.

Betts says sharing a clubhouse with guys like three-time MLB All-Star Hanley Ramirez isn’t intimidating, it’s helpful.

“Their confidence kind of rubs off on you. You notice how they go about their business and it kind of rubs off,” said Betts.
