Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts opened up in a recent interview about how Toronto Blue Jays legend Tory Tulowitzki trained him this off-season to help him continue to improve at the shortstop position.
Tulowitzki has not played in the MLB since 2019 but in retirement has been coaching at Texas University as he is currently the batting coach for the Longhorns, a new role he took on this winter.

Tulowitzki was also on the MLB network speaking on his work with Betts this off-season, stating that the way Betts trains and his dedication is like no other which is why he is so great.
Troy Tulowitzki put on a masterclass this morning describing the work he did with Mookie Betts in the offseason. It's SO fascinating. For parents, current amateurs or even for guys in the league, it's elite level thinking for anyone who wants to be great.
Betts is still trying to improve at the shortstop position as he has only been playing there since the 2023 playoffs which is why everything is still very new to him and he is constantly looking to improve.
If Betts is training with Tulowitzki, clearly he is a great coach and it might not be a bad idea for the Blue Jays to look at possibly bringing him in as a coach.
