[Reporter Ni Wanjun/Comprehensive Report] Major League Baseball announced the annual Most Valuable Player today. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani missed the award for the fourth consecutive year and the fifth time in his career. However, when he was being interviewed while holding his dog Decoy, he still made the audience laugh with his warm words.
Ohtani played 139 games as a hitter this year, posting a batting average of 2.75%, 30 home runs, and 81 RBIs. As a pitcher, he played in 14 games and achieved 8 wins and 2 losses with an ERA of 1.79. In the end, he lost the National League MVP voting to Cubs outfielder "PCA" Armstrong, who won the unanimous award.
However, when being interviewed in front of the camera, Otani would caress the belly of his pet dog from time to time, which made the host curiously ask, "Why does Decoy feel like it's getting bigger every time I see it?" Otani explained with a smile: "Because the child has grown up, and he has started feeding Decoy snacks." It turns out that as the child grows, Decoy becomes more and more rounded because he often receives snacks, and there is laughter in the studio.
Talking about his performance this season, Ohtani said frankly: "I think this is a very disappointing season, including the playoffs. Of course, I did not perform well in the playoffs. Personally, my performance throughout the season also left me with many regrets. Simply put, I think I did not perform very well this year."
