	Ichiro Suzuki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ichiro, equipped with arguably the most accurate throwing arm in the league, is widely regarded as one of the best defensive outfielders in baseball, winning a Gold Glove in each of his first five years in the majors.
		Ichiro made his Pacific League debut in 1992 at the age of 18, but he spent most of his first two seasons with a farm team due to his manager's refusal to accept Ichiro's unorthodox swing.
		Ichiro is noted for his work ethic in arriving early for his team's games, and for his calisthenic stretching exercises to stay limber even during the middle of the game.

	JockBio: Ichiro Suzuki Biography
		Ichiro Suzuki, 2001 Upper Deck SP After the season, Ichiro played for a Japanese all-star team in an exhibition series against a group of touring major leaguers.
		Ichiro had not had a day off, so when his average began to slip in July, he was given a breather.
		Ichiro’s detractors pointed to several instances when he laid down bunts in inappropriate game situations, and swung at pitches that would have been ball four—all presumably in his quest to surpass Sisler.

		Ichiro ranks third in average, fourth in OBP, ninth in slugging percentage and seventh in OPS, one point ahead of Detroit’s Craig Monroe.
		Ichiro is certainly a fantastic defensive player with as much or more speed than any regular right fielder the game has ever seen, and his throwing arm is among the top few in all of baseball.

		In his first year in the U.S., Ichiro (he goes by his first name, which means first-born son) shattered decades-old baseball records, including most hits by a rookie, which was set by legendary Shoeless Joe Jackson in 1911.
		Ichiro is the lankier of the two, at 1.8 m to Nakata's stocky 1.75 m.

	The Table Setters: Ichiro and a player to be determined
		Ichiro gets on base a lot, and when that happens, the opposing first baseman generally holds him at the bag to protect against the stolen base.
		The hitter is likely to see lots of fastballs, too, because catchers want a chance to throw Ichiro out if he runs, and because pitchers don't want to issue a walk and then have to pitch to the middle of the order with two runners on.
		Ichiro will be allowed to exercise his judgment, which the Mariners hope will be a positive.

	Ichiro for MVP? a review.
		It appears that Ichiro’s groundall total is highly significant because so much of his success is tied to his keeping the ball on the ground.
		Well first of all it’s obvious that Ichiro is the only person to have recorded one of the top 12 single season hit totals after 1930, so as far as Ichiro’s hit total is concerned he truly deserves all the credit he receives.
		The point is that Ichiro’s massive at-bat and PA total, regardless of his average, produced a huge amount of OUTS that help to contribute to the potentiality of his team losing games.

		Ichiro Suzuki's pursuit of George Sisler's single-season record of 257 hits should end successfully in the next day or so.
		Ichiro has reduced his game to hitting singles not as a byproduct of his style, but in an intentional effort to produce singles.
		I haven't seen many Mariners games during Ichiro's tenure, but it's possible the league is just getting more and more sick of him beating balls into the ground and beating them out and so are getting closer and closer to the point they're actually doing him a favor.

	Ichiro leads an assault on baseball's records \| csmonitor.com
		Just four hits shy as of press time, Ichiro Suzuki is pursuing his quest at a time when San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds is moving in on the game's holy grail: Hank Aaron's record 755 lifetime home runs.
		If Ichiro breaks the record in the remaining four days of the regular season, it will represent an enormous feat, though few fans know much of Sisler's Hall of Fame career.
		"Ichiro is one of the more entertaining players because he has so many different skills, from fielding to throwing to hitting," says Steve Hirdt, executive vice president at the Elias Sports Bureau, the company serving as MLB's official statistician.

		But let's be clear about something: Ichiro gets a lot of hits, but he doesn't do all the things that make a ballplayer great, such as hitting for power and walking.
		Like Ichiro, most of his value was reflected in his batting average, and he didn't contribute a whole lot more.
		Yes, Ichiro hit 21 more home runs in his first three years than Sisler in his; but, to be fair, Sisler's first three years occurred just before Babe Ruth radically changed the game.
