Ichiro Reaches 200 Hits Once Again

Ichiro Reaches 200 Hits Once Again
Ichiro reached the 200 hit plateau for the fifth straight season, becoming only the sixth player in Major League history to accomplish that feat. While the year he had did not compare with last season, it is a testament to his abilities that he was able to reach that mark once again. [Full Story - Fox Sports]

Yeah, it was a big day for Japanese players in the Majors. 200 for Ichiro, A 3 run home run game for Iguchi, and a home run for Matsui.

Ichiro 7 hits in 2 games. This guy's amazing. But I wish he could steal more bases and have a lot more doubles.

Seems like he was putting pressure onto himself to reach 200. Once he did, he hits like crazy again. But, with his number of at bats and ability, it should be near automatic. Hence his relatively low average this year.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
