Hi, I;m a MLB fan from Taiwan and found many players' names are diffcult to pronouce.... I want to inquire how to pronounce two great pitchers' name: Marichal and Blyleven. Thanks.

Thanks for prompt answer. Besides, where should the accent be?

Juan Marichal: "Mar" like the first syllable of "Mary", then a soft i, then "shell" like "sea shell"
and
Bert Blyleven: "Bly" with a hard i, "lev" like the first syllable of "level", and "en" like "engage"

Marichal - "Mar-e-shell"
Blyleven - "Bly, like in Fly - leven, like in the number 11 (eleven), just leave of the "e".

Mare - i (like "it" without the "t") - shall
Bly - leven (rhymes with 7)
