Mookie Betts is already a two-sport star. He's a baseball star -- a literal All-Star, as well as a Gold Glove Award Winner, Silver Slugger and AL MVP runner-up in 2016. He's also a bowling star, because he throws strikes and celebrates like this:

The ping-pong table has been a hit with the Red Sox since Dustin Pedroia bought it earlier this spring, according to MLB.com's Ian Browne. The team seems to have enjoyed their postseason ping-pong so much that it's become a locker room staple. 
And considering Betts has played in the MLB postseason and World Series of Bowling, we expect to see him in the World Table Tennis Championships by June.
