Home runs are not everything in baseball. I'd love to see a player like him again.

at 2:20 our hero Jeff Mathis was not going to go quietly into that good night he was going to do his best to throw Ichiro out it didn't work but man did he give that ball a ride

I don’t think people realize how hard this is. Getting a pitch at 90mph to slow down off the bat so it only goes 15 feet is insane. I’ve seen bunt attempt fly out into shallow left field.

He was such a good hitter they couldn't cheat in on him. And he was so fast it wasn't worth trying to throw him out a lot of times in fear of throwing it away

Aww I remember ichiro my uncle was obsessed with him because he was also Japanese he used to call him the hero of his homeland.
I think Ichiro is one of the , if not the, greatest of all time.

Ichiro’s secret: Incredible bat control and he swung at anything NEAR the strike zone!!!!

The bunt is so disruptive because it forces a minimum of two players to react to it, neither of which have a good angle to even attempt a throw. I think it's one of the least utilized yet most effective weapons in a batter's arsenal, but it takes courage and lots of practice to master. Would love to see more players using it.
Not even a mariners fan and Ichiro is my favorite player of all time, the guy did everything. Growing playing the game my dad told me to watch him if I wanted to improve.

If Ichiro had bunted two or three times more often than he did he might have hit .400 - his technique and execution was practically unstoppable.

Keep in mind that these type of videos only show the good bunts. Also the more he did it, the defense would adjust accordingly and he would be less successful at it. Most of a bunt's success is based on the surprise factor.

🤔His bunting skills are out of this world, -bunts to the 1st base line -bunts to the 3rd base line -bunts low -bunts high depending on how he sees the defense he selects which bunt to execute and collects base hits. And that is just one part of his game. ⚾️💣💥😎

It's a lost art. I feel like you could just master a really good bunt and have speed and be successful in the majors right now since almost no one can do it. It is such a menace.
