Ichiro has power, he has admitted to having 2 separate swing styles. During BP he will wing as most other players do but during games he prefers to be a slap hitter. He says he prefers small infield hits over displays of power.
Ichiro has more BP power than anyone in the league. I'm not kidding. I go to about 30 Orioles games every year and stand in the flag court out in right field during BP to catch home run balls, and he'll hit 10 or 15 balls up there. He's not eeking them out either. I have personally seen him hit the warehouse during BP, which is 432 feet from home plate.
I've seen him take bp a few times...it's amazing...he really destroys those balls. When Richie Sexson was with the M's on the same day, he couldn't even get close to hitting it where Ichiro was.
yeah, ichiro has a ton of power, but similar to derek jeter he doesn't swing for the fences every time he is at bat. which is also why he hardly ever strikes out, and bats .360 or whatever, and has 200 hit seasons.
he does, however his father knew that he was fast so he said that he should just go for base hits, even though he could win the home run derby, if he were entered in it.
@osunason I donk know man, I think he really could win the derby. You just have to see him take BP in real life, its really amazing he just sits there and cranks em out over and over, it doesnt even look like hes trying very hard. He has admitted that he uses a different swing in BP and he doesnt try to hit homers in games.
Yeah; i've never witnessed him in BP. hell yeah bro; i'm sure he does damage too. Ichiro Is one hell of a player and can't wait till he's honored in the Hall of Fame.
he would do great in the homerun derby. people give him shit for not doing what he does in bp in a game.. but tons of guys every year are putting up .270-30-100. nobody else has had a 262 hit season, or many other of his feats. i only wish the mariners wouldnt trade away some of their potentially good rbi guys as his talents dont get to be showed off as good when hes stranded on base so much.
and what i know you can't do is: hit 3 balls line drives to left field, 3 up the centre, and pull 3 balls to right field all line drives like ichiro can

i dont know about the homerun derby man. haha
but ichiro is a natural talented athlete with a great arm. thats why hes one of my fav. players.
but if there was a competiton like hitting singles with 9 men on the field
HE WOULD WIN.

sorry some paper carried
As part of his regular batting-practice routine, Ichiro tries to swing
for the fences, and he routinely produces Home Run Derby-caliber blasts
into the right-field seats.
