Commander Marlins won the MVP in 1985 when he was the RBI King
■ Marlins 2-1 Angels (6th Japan time, Miami)
Don Mattingly, who heads the Marlins, played for the Yankees during his active career. He is a well-known player who won the RBI in 1985 and won the MVP. In honor of pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who won the MVP last season, he admires his dual wield performance as “very amazing.”
Mattingly was asked by the press, “How amazing is the dual wield’s success?” “What’s really great is that he’s both a pitcher and a starter. That’s not the case. “
He also pointed out the difficulty of adjustment, saying, “There is a lot to do. Including preparations.” He praised, “He looks like he’s doing it very easily, but … so it’s amazing.” I expressed respect for the difficulty of dual wield and Otani who can pull it off.
