Otani named MVP

SHOHEI Otani was honored for both his batting and pitching yesterday when he was named Most Valuable Player of Japan’s Pacific League. Otani helped the Nippon Ham Fighters win the Pacific League pennant and the Japan Series this season. The 22-year-old righthander went 10-4 as a pitcher and batted .322 with a career-high 22 home runs. The fourth-year player earned 1,268 points in MVP voting, comfortably ahead of teammate Brandon Laird, who was second with 298 points. Last week, Otani was the first player ever to be named the Pacific League’s best pitcher and best designated hitter.
