As a perennial All-Star with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Mookie Betts knows a thing or two about swinging for the fences. Well, in a few weeks, America will be able to watch him swinging for ... the kitchen cabinets?

The Dodgers superstar, who returned the team's lineup in mid-August after missing two months with a wrist injury, had spent part of the offseason in his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, to surprise his dad with a home makeover as part of the CBS reality series "Secret Celebrity Renovation," now in its third season.

The episode is set to air on CBS on Friday, Sept. 20, at 8 p.m. ET, which is also when it will be available on Paramount+.

Betts shared that he has been wanting to renovate his father's house for years, but the elder Betts had constantly declined the help. Despite the previous rejections, the son knew it was time to do something for his dad.

"I really just want to give him a nice living area. Just kind of upgrade him a little bit," Betts said. "He's comfortable here and he's not good with change, but he's getting older now and his house definitely needs an upgrade."
