By: Jason Gregory and Sanjay Sharma of 516
In a league filled with unbelievable people and talent, this section is dedicated to the guys that show up every week, give maximum effort, and fly under the radar. This week’s candidate is from the Mets. His name is Ibrahim Mozawalla. Ibrahim is soft spoken, and quiet, but his play on the field is anything but that. All day he contributed with timely hits, and great plays. If the Mets are to do anything good in 2018, Ibrahim is going to be a big part. On a team filled with vets and aging legs he is a nice change of pace.
Questions and Answers to Ibrahim Mozawalla from the Mets.
Question 1 – Ibrahim, how do you feel after two highly contested games?
Answer – Tired, lol. It was a tough day and competitive. Def a good series.
Question 2 – What did you think of the competition?

Question 3 – Which one of your teammates has impressed you the most thus far?
Answer – Easy Ramy never fails, every time he is up it is either an HR, single, or he just gets a hit and gets on base. He is fantastic and we can always count on him to help our team.
Question 4 – How do you guys get Ramy to calm down, he always seems wired and is pushing 1000%?

Question 6 – What do you feel your team needs to improve on to accomplish your ultimate goal of a championship in 2018.
Answer – We need to improve our infield defense, make the basic plays, and just overall improve our defense. Our hitting will be there, just need to take care of the little things. We play defense we win.
Question 7 – What is your message to the rest of the league in closing.
Answer – Play hard and have fun.
Reaction – Ibrahim was very impressive all day long, he hit nice line drives, and provided solid leadership. Our feel for the Mets are they will be a tough out in 2018. They can hit, defense needs to get a bit better, but they were missing guys. Ibrahim will continue to be an asset to that team, so watch out for him when you battle the Mets.
