      Ichiro once said "I could hit 50 homeruns if I batted .222, but nobody wants to see that". He was right. Up there with Pete Rose on getting simple hits. Dude was a defensive monster on top of it. Incredibly special player.

  • @J_Ris28
    @J_Ris28 7 лет назад +151

    5:00 People don't even realize that Ichiro could've hit a lot more home runs than he did. He stayed with his singles, get on base approach and it that's what baseball really is about but when his team needed a home run he would change his approach and swing to hit it out. Like he did against Mariano, two outs down one run with a man on base he hit the first pitch out and ended the game. Give this man his respect

    • @SamuelJ888
      @SamuelJ888 2 года назад +13

      I've always felt the same thing. He just had to make an adjustment on his launch angle. But it meant more for him to get on base consistently than it meant for him to hit dingers.

      I don't really follow baseball but I always took note of Ichiro because of things like "people don't run on him" or that "he has the power to just go for home runes but decides to just concentrate on getting base hits" stuff like that. So why did he part with Seattle? I always thought everyone loved him there and that he could have been like an MLB one teamer.

    @fewpoundcory 8 лет назад +79

    Most people dont realize the Japanese season is considerably shorter (most games Ichiro played over there in 1 season was 135). Even if his average was slightly lower over here, he would have still most likely gotten the same amount of hits per season with the extra 27 games, although his .350 average as a rookie for the mariners really shows how much harder it was over here for him.

    when you watch ichiro swing, he isnt going for the fences or anything, it's like he calculates exactly where the fielders are and he puts the ball exactly where they arent. He's going for the tactically best possible place to put the ball, and he knows how to hold and swing the bat for it to get there.
