Ichiro is supposed to be unreal at hitting home runs in BP

I haven't seen him play in 6-7 years. But in BP is was pretty funny as he'd launch shot after shot. Very different from his usual slap and run swing.

Ichiro IMO.

Boggs was the same way in BP, at least when I saw him take it.

Guys like that work on certain pitch placements and repeat the stroke.

I saw Boggs put 5-6 balls in a row within thirty feet of one another into the left center seats at Camden Yards on 2 different occasions. Then , work on something else.

Ichiro was doing the same thing but only saw it once.

Jeter.

Ichiro does NOT hit bombs in BP. Spent a few days in Seattle last week.
