Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts (the main character) has made a public announcement of a move outside of MLB on Wednesday, but it has nothing to do with retirement or a position change. Instead, the eight-time All-Star announced his return to the content creation space by dusting off his personal YouTube channel for a special video.
This off-field move confirms that Betts is leveraging his offseason to engage with fans on a more personal level, highlighting the fun and philanthropy that often happen away from the baseball diamond.
🎥 The YouTube Announcement
Betts, who co-hosted the 2025 MLB Awards show, used his social media platform on Wednesday to announce his return to the popular video platform after an 11-month hiatus.
- The Post: “Follow me at Shadow Creek last, All MLB awards, and then the after party in Vegas! YOUTUBE Link in my story/bio.”
- The Content: The new video offers a behind-the-scenes look at the events that have taken place in his life since the Dodgers won the World Series earlier in November, including:
- Footage of him golfing at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas.
- Preparation and backstage access for the 2025 MLB Awards Show, where he co-hosted with comedian Roy Wood Jr.
- A look at the after-party in Las Vegas celebrating the awards and the end of the season.
Betts is known for his versatility both on and off the field. Beyond baseball, he is a professional ten-pin bowler for the PBA and has previously been nominated for a Sports Emmy for his work in broadcasting and his podcast, On Base with Mookie Betts. This move back to YouTube is an extension of his personal brand and engagement with fans.
While Mookie Betts is focused on his offseason content, the Dodgers are focused on the 2026 roster. Would you like the latest news on the Dodgers’ pursuit of Mike Trout to reunite him with Shohei Ohtani?
