Major League Baseball is on hold by the ongoing owners’ lockout, after the Collective Bar Agreement with the players expired in December 2021. Hence, MLB players have found different ways to keep themselves entertained and busy. Not to mention, players and the owners are yet to reach an agreement, until which, the lockout stays put.

Notably, Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts has kept himself busy in his free time. Betts has been having lots of fun in online gaming and is also making content out of it for his YouTube channel. In fact, he believes Esports comprises a lot of talented and skilled individuals.

“I’ve been having fun gaming in my free time and making content. Tweet me questions and I’ll feature some your tweets in a video on my upcoming YouTube Gaming channel,” tweeted Betts. 

Online gaming, i.e. Esports has seen a revolution since the beginning of the pandemic. When people across the world were locked in their houses, Esports and online gaming were some of the biggest sources of their entertainment and pass time, which slowly turned into a source of revenue for many who pursued it professionally.
