Mookie Betts Stars With Daughter in Toy Story 5 Spot as Disney Voice Role Nears

A family-focused TV promo and a mid-June Disney Jr. voice debut expand Betts’s media reach during a slow start to his season.

Overview

  • The Toy Story 5 promotional spot featuring Mookie Betts and his 7-year-old daughter, Kynlee, ran in coverage this week and shows Woody, Buzz and other toys covertly placing a baseball to get Kynlee off the dugout bench and onto the field.
  • Disney confirmed Betts will voice Dizzy Doubleday in the new season of Iron Man and His Awesome Friends, with episodes set to debut on Disney Jr. on June 11 and on Disney+ on June 12.
  • Betts said he enjoyed the shoot and framed the commercial as family time, noting his daughter liked being on camera and that the spot was fun for both of them.
  • On the field, Betts strained an oblique early in the 2026 season, missed weeks, returned and is now hitting well below expectations, with reporting showing a low batting line and limited production.
  • The dual entertainment push builds Betts’s family-friendly brand — through a TV spot, a voice role, a podcast and awards hosting — even as public criticism over his play grows and teammates publicly back him.
