Mookie Betts from Nashville is a great talent

Post by Golddore68 »

Mookie Betts, who went to Overton High in Nashville, is incredible. He made some amazing catches against the Braves, saved a home run and an extra-base hit. He is speedy on the bases.

Vanderbilt recruited him. He signed with UT but didn’t play with them, he went straight to the pros.

I wonder if he had ever worked out at Vanderbilt with David Price and some of the other VU alums from the Nashville area.

Most likely since Price is now a Dodger.

According to stories I've read about the pros who work out at VU in the offseason, Mookie does occasionally work out at Vanderbilt, but more often than working out, he's on campus in the offseason to play in a weekly pickup basketball game.
