Ichiro Suzuki on being elected into the Hall of Fame:

Tanner Scott repping the Dodgers jersey

This stat makes absolutely no sense. In AB with a 0-2 count, Steven Kwan had a .405 Batting Average. Nobody else is even close to that mark. The second highest was Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at .300 BA.

Ichiro on the one writer who didn’t vote for him to get into the HOF: “I would like to invite him over to my house, and have a drink together and have a good chat.”

Don’t sleep on Ketel Marte 🤫 7th in OPS 11th in On-Base % 13th in Batting Average sneaky underrated.
