Read an article about him and people said this guy hits more home runs than anyone in batting practice.
Then i wondered why he didn't hit home runs in games and article mentioned if he hit for power, it would lower his batting average a lot. There were quite a few people who said Ichiro would have a good chance of winning this home run derby if he entered.
Do you guys think he would have a good shot at winning it? It would be funny if he hit 10 home runs in the first round and then other players and teams will wonder why didn't he try hitting for home runs during the game. He has only 1 home run this entire year but anyone here surprised players say Ichiro hit more home runs than anyone in batting practice?
He is the best contact hitter in all of baseball and definitely better than Derek Jeter. But it would be pretty damn obvious Jeter couldn't hit any home runs at Batting Practice. But this story about Ichiro just sounds weird in that he hits so many hrs in BP.
