Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts will guest‑star in the Disney Jr. series Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends, according to Disney+. The episode, “Swarm’s Baseball Swing and a Mess,” premieres Friday on Disney+.
Betts provides the voice for Dizzy Doubleday, a baseball player who helps young children learn the game. The episode follows young Tony Stark, Riri Williams and Amadeus Cho as they help build a baseball field that is threatened by the supervillain Swarm and his “pop flies.”
Former softball Olympian and current ESPN analyst Jessica Mendoza also guest stars, voicing Dottie Doubleday, Dizzy’s sister and the owner of the local batting cage.
Betts arrives to the role with a lengthy athletic résumé: he is an eight‑time All‑Star and a six‑time Gold Glove winner and has four World Series rings, according to the episode announcement. The source also notes his bowling skills.
On the field this season, Betts is hitting .190 and had a two‑hit outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Off the field, he previously served as executive producer on a film about Jackie Robinson’s legacy and made a cameo in a promotional spot for the 2025 comedy The Naked Gun.
