Markus Lynn “Mookie” Betts is one of the premier talents in Major League Baseball. In 2011, he began a professional career as a key player and fan favorite with the Boston Red Sox. As a right fielder in 2018 and one of four players in history to hit 100 home runs before age 26, he became the only player in American League history to win the World Series, a Gold Glove award, a Silver Slugger award, and the American League MVP in the same season. In February 2020, Betts joined World Series champions the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he is currently a shortstop. This year, Betts earned his eighth appearance on the MLB All-Star roster, his first time as a shortstop.Â
Off the field, Betts is a world-renowned ten-pin bowler. He is passionate about philanthropy and history, lending his time to various charitable endeavors. In 2022, he produced a film based on the life of Jackie Robinson. Joining the GrowthLoop board marks Betts’ first venture in the technology field. He currently resides in Los Angeles.Â
