Ichiro watches stand at practice

[blakezaf]

what are you talking about?

[KTSEROV2351]

yeah sure you cn hit a bp home run, but can you get over 200 hits in a season , 7 times in a row?

[etb76]

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.

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.

@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.

[LookJohan]

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.

song name?

[litojonny]

yeah on espn they had clips of ichiro BOMBING balls on the 2nd deck in safeco feidl

[jtores1]

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.
