Mookie Betts is feeling like Steph Curry right now, hitting .358 in his last 16 games with 5 home runs.
He has tapped into some more power recently, with almost half of his total home runs on the year arriving during this span.
What's behind the surge?
Betts appears to have made some minor adjustments, showing more intent in the batter's box and less indecisiveness.
How has his performance changed?
His plate discipline has improved, with a chase percentage of pitches outside of the strike zone and a swing-and-miss percentage ranking him in the 96th percentile in MLB.
What does this mean for the Dodgers?
Manager Dave Roberts has taken note of Betts' hot streak, and the shortstop's offensive talent is undeniable.
Betts had three consecutive games with a home run from June 25-27, and collected another two hits on Thursday night.
He has multipe hits in three of his last four games.
The shortstop's intent in the batter's box can be seen in his numbers, with a proactive approach and aggressive approach.
This has led to a monster start to the summer for Betts.
On June 25, Betts started his home run streak, hitting one against the Minnesota Twins.
He followed this up with home runs on June 26 and 27 against the San Diego Padres.
Betts' numbers are up from last season, with his chase percentage and swing-and-miss percentage improving.
He suffered through a career-worst slump last season, but ended the season batting .294 in the final two months.
After a slow start to the 2026 campaign, Betts has found his footing once again.
He is hitting .248 this season with 11 home runs and a wRC+ of 105.
Betts' hot streak has been a welcome sight for the Dodgers, and he will look to continue this form in the coming games.
