I may not have started it but there\u2019s a difference between starting it and then keeping it going, and then keeping it going with something the other person is engaging or wanting to talk about. \u2026 That\u2019s something I had to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On top of holding a conversation better, Betts credited podcasting for allowing him to become a better listener. Since Betts hosts his own podcast, he brings on a multitude of different players to hear them speak, and has noticed the importance of listening closely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everybody in the world can tell when someone is actually listening to them speak,\u201d Betts said. \u201cBecause the follow-ups \u2014 you could completely change the subject, which probably means you weren\u2019t listening to what they said. It\u2019s really helped me as a people person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Betts has grown as a conversationalist and listener through his podcast, he seemed to already be one of the more well-liked players across the league. In an anonymous poll of over 100 MLB players conducted by\u00a0The Athletic, Betts was voted as the player others most wanted to play with based off of just their vibe. He earned twice as many votes as any players, and is held in high regard among many across the league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When he\u2019s not occupied hitting home runs for the Los Angeles Dodgers,\u00a0outfielder Mookie Betts can be found hosting his podcast, \u201cOn Base With Mookie Betts.\u201d Betts has&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
