Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts is playing on another level right now.

After his dominant 4-for-4, multi-home run performance on Friday, he joined an exclusive club, according to OptaSTATS on Twitter.

Betts, who slashed .875/.867/2.375 over the team's last three road games, joined Ted Williams as the only two players in MLB history to have that kind of slash line over three road games with a minimum of 10 plate appearances.

Any time you can be mentioned with the great Ted Williams, you're probably doing something right. And in this case, it's clear that Betts is playing on another level.

A batting average of .875 in any stretch is seemingly unheard of, and to do it over three games is just insane.

Betts has also hit three home runs and driven in eight RBIs during those three games, asserting himself as a true MVP candidate at the top of the Dodgers lineup.

In the midst of this crazy stretch, Betts was also named a starting outfielder for the National League in the All-Star Game. It'll be his seventh career All-Star appearance, and third straight with the Dodgers.

Betts continues to put up numbers for the Dodgers, and is doing it while playing great in right field, second base and shortstop. There's truly no one like Mookie Betts.
