Mookie Betts Adopts Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s Javelin Work For Shortstop

Betts says Yada sensei, who trains Yamamoto, has him throwing javelins this spring to boost durability and arm strength. “It’s like night and day difference,” Betts said, noting even routine throws “across the diamond” feel better than last year. After golfing with Yamamoto, he “included it” in training: “If Yoshi can do it… I can be a Yoshi at shortstop.”
