First player ever to have 10 straight 200+ hit season. Pete Rose is the only other player to have 10 seasons with 200 hits. If he would have started in MLB I think he would be the all time hit leader before he would have called it quits.

3215 of 4256 is 76% singles for Pete.

81% for Ichiro. About right for a consistent hit guy.

what if he came over at age 18? What if he played n the minors for ANY of the MLB teams.....would he have his swing that he does now.....would anyone in double A have allowed him to hit that way? What if he got off to a rough start swinging as such his first year in pro ball?


What he does is truely unbelievable....but it's difficult to predict how his minor league career and his early MLB years would've transpired. Hell the same organization that took him left .330 hitting Edgar Martinez for so long it cost him getting 3000 hits....and the Mariners were horrid when they kept him down 3+ years too long.

I just wish he could get the hell out of Seattle. He could help any contender IMO. He must not complain like most guys in his situation would or he would have been out of there long ago.

He's a little better with the bat than Rose......Rose's longevity is what made him so high up the totals charts.

That is the god's awful truth. One has only to look at how the Indians ruined Andy Marte...and almost ruined Brandon Phillips by forcing them into Derek Shelton's hiiting boot camp.
He's a little better with the bat than Rose......Rose's longevity is what made him so high up the totals charts.
Both Rose and Ichiro are good contact hitters and use their legs to garner the extra hits that makes their average 'pop'.

a great and consistent hitter....

his personality, his culture, and playing in a small west coast market contribute to his relative invisibility to the mainstream media.

will he be the first Japanese Cooperstown HOFer?

yes.

No doubt, and he will be a first ballot if he get to 3000 and even if he don't get to 3000 he will probably still be a 1st ballot.

hard to compare by the season when Ichiro has had all of his years during his prime and Rose played til age 46

What was Rose average # of doubles during the age Ichiro has played in the majors?

Laley,

Here you go (I think my addition is correct):

Ichiro (2001-2010) 71 triples 90 HR 555 RBI 382 SB 1043 Runs .376 OBP

Rose (1968-1977) 73 triples 94 HR 600 RBI 82 SB 1089 Runs OBP: Too lazy to calculate, but all but one of these seasons he exceeded Ichiro’s career OBP, often significantly.

Both great players
