Suzuki is the first Japanese player in the Hall of Fame.
The five newcomers will be inducted July 27, 2025, in Cooperstown, New York.
Former Detroit Tigers shortstop Carlos Guillén, who played 14 MLB seasons from 1998-2011, has a relationship with Suzuki and Sabathia, but he knows Suzuki personally from their three seasons as teammates with the Mariners, from 2001-03.
Guillén, now 49, spent the final eight years of his MLB career with the Tigers, from 2004-2011. He represented the Tigers in all three of his All-Star Games, in 2004, 2007 and 2008.
But Guillén and Suzuki met for the first time in February 1999, when Suzuki visited the Mariners’ spring training complex in Peoria, Arizona. He spent two weeks with the Mariners in spring training, thanks to a working agreement between the Mariners and Suzuki’s team in Japan, the Orix BlueWave.
Suzuki didn’t official sign with the Mariners until January 2001.
That’s when Guillén, then age 25, and Suzuki, then age 27, became teammates for Suzuki’s first MLB season after coming to the United States from Japan.
Guillén talked to the Free Press, joining this week’s episode of the “Days of Roar” podcast, about Suzuki, Sabathia, former Tigers manager Jim Leyland and other Hall of Fame topics. (On the podcast, Guillén also discussed his career with the Tigers, his 3:30 a.m. home run and his legendary home run off Jered Weaver.)
When did you first hear the name Ichiro Suzuki, what did you think about him signing with the Mariners, and what was it like meeting him in spring training in 2001?
“I met Ichiro two years before because he was invited to the camp for spring training with the Seattle Mariners (in 1999). But two years later, he came to play with the Seattle Mariners (in 2001). He was unbelievable. To me, he has to be the next player unanimous in the Hall of Fame. He’s very special. The numbers he has, the discipline, the respect he has for the game. I never saw any player like that. He respected his teammates. He respected the fans. To me, that’s very important for a baseball player getting inducted into the Hall of Fame. He’s one of those guys. When he met a Spanish player, he’d try to speak Spanish. When he met an American player, he’d speak English. He’s a very respectful guy. To me, he’s one of the best players to ever play. He can catch the ball. He can hit the ball. He can run. He put a lot of pressure on the defense. He’s a clutch hitter, too. He’s a winner. He prepares himself before the game, for the game and for the season. He prepares himself for everything. That’s why I say he’s a very disciplined player. To me, the discipline is one of the most important things in a baseball career, in your life. He is one of those guys. You want to keep him on your team. You want to keep him as a friend. You want to keep him right next to you.”
In 2001, Ichiro hit an American League-best .350 with an MLB-best 242 hits and an MLB-best 56 stolen bases, winning AL Rookie of the Year and AL MVP. Did you expect that from Ichiro in Year 1?
“I saw him in spring training. We were hitting in the same group in batting practice. He can hit the ball far, too, for home runs. The first time I saw him in spring training, I said he was going to be a very, very special player. He’s disciplined, and he is very smart, too. When you have the discipline, you can do whatever you want to do.”
Ichiro had more than 200 hits in 10 seasons in a row, from 2001-2010. For context, future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera only had more than 200 hits one time in his 21-year MLB career, with 205 in 2012. How was Ichiro able to get so many hits?
“It’s very, very difficult for a player to play every day. It’s very, very difficult for a player to play more than 10 years in the big leagues. He’s one of those guys. It’s the discipline. He had his routine before the game. That makes a lot of difference when you can be consistent every day, doing what you need to do. That made the difference. He was one of those guys. He prepared himself every day. He prepared himself for the long season. And he never struck out. He put the ball in play. He hit a lot of infield hits. He prepared his body to be fast all the time, to put pressure on the defense. He was a very special player because he got the talent, he got the mentality, he got the discipline. He had everything. That’s why he hit 200 hits for 10 years.”
Do you know your numbers against CC Sabathia?
“I don’t know the numbers. The only thing I know is he was very, very aggressive.”
You hit .295 with one home run, three walks, seven strikeouts and a .727 OPS across 48 plate appearances against CC Sabathia throughout your MLB career. You faced him the most in 2006-07, hitting .318 across 22 plate appearances.
“Well, I remember CC. He was a fastball pitcher. He was a big guy. We were in the same (AL Central) division when he played back then for the Cleveland Indians. I had to be aggressive early in the count. When you got to two strikes, you got in trouble. He threw hard. He was 6-feet-6, a big guy, lefty, throwing 96, 97, 98 miles per hour with a big backdoor slider, so you had to be early in the count aggressive. That was the biggest difference for me in those years. He’s a good teammate, a good guy in the clubhouse. But he was one of the best pitchers I faced.”
Sabathia is one of just 15 pitchers in MLB history to reach 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts. We know Ichiro is a lock, but why should Sabathia join Ichiro as a Hall of Famer on his first ballot?
“Numbers talk. When you got the numbers, you can tell. When you don’t have numbers, you’re going nowhere. That’s CC. He threw a lot of innings. To me, that was the key. If you throw a lot of innings, you’re going to have good numbers.”
Former Tigers manager Jim Leyland was inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class. What was it like playing for Jim Leyland in the final six of eight years during your career with the Tigers, from 2006-11?
“I would like to say thank God for putting me in those hands. To me, Jim Leyland was one of the most special manager I played for. I learned a lot from Jim. He talked a lot with the players. He gave you the confidence. He knows the game. He’s very aggressive. The most important thing, to me, was keeping the chemistry in the clubhouse. He talked to us before batting practice and played cards. He was funny, too. He was so funny. He gave you a lot of confidence. That’s good for young guys. I think that’s why he was so successful in his career. That’s why he’s in (the Hall of Fame) right now. He deserves it. He brought to TigerTown a lot of good things. He loved Detroit, and he loved baseball. He won the World Series with the Marlins (in 1997). He managed a players like Barry Bonds. To me, the best thing that happened to me was playing with Jim.”
Carlos Beltran is expected to join the Hall of Fame as part of the 2026 class. (He received 70.3% of the vote on his third of 10 ballots in 2025, falling just shy of the 75% needed for induction.) You and Beltran made your MLB debuts in 1998: You were with the Mariners; Beltran was with the Kansas City Royals. Back then, how much did you know about him?
“I knew about him because he was on Baseball America — that he was going to be a special player. I started following him. He was a very, very special player. He can play. He’s a very, very nice person, too. We didn’t play together, but when we played against Carlos, you have to be careful when he comes up to hit. He was a clutch hitter, too. To me, that’s very important for a player trying to go to the Hall of Fame. When you are a clutch hitter and clutch player, you want players like that on your team. It makes your team different. That’s why he was so successful in the playoffs and during the season. I think he should be a Hall of Famer.”
Ichiro wasn’t your only famous teammate with the Mariners. You were teammates with Alex Rodriguez in 1998, 1999 and 2000, but your first full season in the big leagues was 2000. That year, Rodriguez hit .316 with 41 home runs while playing shortstop for the Mariners. What was it like watching him do that?
“All of those (elite) players, they’re very, very similar on the field and in the clubhouse and in the offseason. Alex is a guy who worked hard every day to be in this position, where he is right now. He was very smart. He was always talking about hitting every day — on the bus, on the plane, in the clubhouse, at breakfast. He was always talking about hitting and about baseball, every day and all the time. If you went with A-Rod to lunch, he would talk to you about baseball and what pitchers we were going to face that day. When you’re on the plane, he had all of the videos for the next series of the pitchers. That’s what made him a very, very special player. He was a very, very disciplined player. He was young. He got the talent. He knew he could do a lot of good things in baseball. He is one of the best players. To me, the best player to ever play.”
Alex Rodriguez is one of the greatest players in MLB history, but he also was suspended by MLB for the use and possession of performance-enhancing drugs. Does he deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? (He received 37.1% of the vote on his fourth of 10 ballots in 2025, needing 75%.)
“Yes, to me, he should be in the Hall of Fame. Back then, I didn’t know about steroids. I didn’t know about it. But things happen. Everybody makes a mistake. Some players in the Hall of Fame, they made a mistake. We are human. To me, he should be on the list.”

In a recent interview with MLB Network, former Detroit Tigers player Carlos Guillen shared his thoughts on the potential Hall of Fame induction of two of his former teammates, Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia.
Guillen had nothing but praise for Ichiro, calling him a “once-in-a-generation talent” and stating that he believes the Japanese outfielder deserves to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Ichiro, who retired from MLB in 2019 with over 3,000 hits and a career batting average of .311, is widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game.
When it came to Sabathia, Guillen was equally effusive in his praise, describing the left-handed pitcher as a “true workhorse” and a “dominant force on the mound.” Sabathia, who retired in 2019 after 19 seasons in the majors, finished his career with 251 wins and over 3,000 strikeouts, solidifying his case for Hall of Fame induction.
As the baseball world eagerly awaits the 2025 Hall of Fame vote, it seems likely that both Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia will receive the recognition they deserve for their outstanding careers. And if Guillen’s words are any indication, their former teammate will be cheering them on every step of the way.
Ichiro Suzuki, a veritable hits machine on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, became the first Japanese player to gain entry into the National Baseball Hall of Fame when he was elected Tuesday to the Class of 2025 alongside pitchers CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America and tabulated by Ernst & Young.
Players are elected to the Hall provided they are named on at least 75 percent of ballots cast by eligible voting members of the BBWAA. With 394 ballots submitted in the 2025 election, candidates needed to receive 296 votes to be elected.
Suzuki, who was on the ballot for the first time, came within one vote of being a unanimous selection, a feat achieved by only one player, relief pitcher Mariano Rivera in 2019, in 81 years of voting by the BBWAA. Ichiro, a multiple Gold Glove Award-winning outfielder, received 393 votes, which accounted for 99.746 percent of the electorate, second only to shortstop Derek Jeter’s 99.748-percent showing (396 of 397 ballots cast) in 2020 as the highest plurality for a position player in Hall of Fame voting.
Sabathia, another first-time honoree, received 342 votes (86.8 percent), and Wagner, who was on the BBWAA ballot for the 10th-and-final time, got 325 (82.5).
They will be honored during Induction Weekend 2025 July 25-28 in Cooperstown, N.Y., at the July 27 Induction Ceremony on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center along with Dave Parker and the late Dick Allen, who were elected by the Classic Baseball Era Committee last month in Dallas.
Suzuki, 51, burst onto the major league scene in 2001 with the Seattle Mariners as the first position player from Japan and went on to win both the American League MVP and Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Awards in the same season, a feat accomplished by only one other player, Fred Lynn of the Boston Red Sox in 1975. Over a 19-season career that included time with the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins, Suzuki knocked out 3,089 hits in becoming the first player with 10 consecutive seasons of 200-plus hits, including a record 262 in 2004, a year in which he won his second batting title at .372. His first came in his rookie year when he hit .350 with 242 hits and 56 of his career 509 stolen bases.
Among other hardware Suzuki collected were 10 straight Gold Glove Awards for fielding, three Silver Slugger Awards for batting and 10 All-Star Game selections, including nine starts. He was the All-Star Game MVP in 2007 at San Francisco. Ichiro led the AL in games played four times, at-bats eight times, hits seven times, singles 10 times and intentional walks three times. Defensively, he led AL right fielders in putouts seven times, fielding percentage four times and once as a center fielder and assists twice as a right fielder. Including his totals with the Orix Blue Wave in Japan’s Pacific League, Ichiro amassed 4,367 career hits over 28 seasons.
Sabathia, 44, began his 19-season career in Cleveland as the runner-up to Suzuki for the AL Rookie of the Year Award in 2001 and went on to post a 251-161 record with a 3.74 earned run average and 3,093 strikeouts – 18th all-time and third among left-handers behind Randy Johnson and Steve Carlton. Sabathia won the AL Cy Young Award in 2007. A year later, a mid-season trade to Milwaukee resulted in his finishing sixth in National League MVP voting after going 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA and seven complete games, including three shutouts, in 17 starts for the Brewers. The next year, he anchored the Yankees’ staff enroute to a World Series title and was the 2009 AL Championship Series MVP (2-0, 1.13 ERA). Sabathia is one of only six pitchers in history with at least 250 victories, a .600 winning percentage and 3,000 strikeouts.
Over 16 seasons with the Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves, Wagner, 53, had a 47-40 record with 422 saves, the eighth-highest career total in history and the second highest among left-handers, just two saves behind John Franco. Wagner’s 2.31 career ERA is the lowest among retired left-handed pitchers with at least 500 innings pitched in the live-ball era (post 1920). His career walks-plus-hits-per-innings-pitched ratio (WHIP) of 0.998 is lowest among all retired relievers with at least 700 innings pitched.
The only other players to gain mention on more than half the ballots were outfielders Carlos Beltrán with 277 votes (70.3) and Andruw Jones with 261 (66.2).
Candidates may remain on the BBWAA ballot for up to 10 years provided they are listed on at least five percent of ballots cast. There are 15 players from this year’s ballot who will be eligible again for 2025, including two of the 14 first-year candidates: pitcher Félix Hernández with 81 votes (20.6) and second baseman Dustin Pedroia with 47 (11.9).
The Hall of Fame has 351 elected members, including 278 players, of whom 142 have come through the BBWAA ballot. The elections of Suzuki and Sabathia bring to 62 the total of players elected in their first year of eligibility by the BBWAA. This year marked the 11th time the BBWAA honored three players in an election and the second year in a row.
The average ballot in the 2025 election contained 6.77 names, down from 7.00 last year, with 24.9 percent of the voters using all 10 slots, up from 24.4 a year ago. The total of ballots cast marked a 98.5-percent return rate of the 400 ballots mailed to voters. There were no blank ballots submitted.

Today, baseball legends Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner have been elected to the prestigious Hall of Fame. These three players have left an indelible mark on the game and have rightfully earned their place among the greats of the sport.
Ichiro Suzuki, known for his incredible speed, impeccable hitting ability, and unmatched defensive skills, was a true pioneer in the game. The Japanese outfielder made a seamless transition to MLB and became a beloved figure in the baseball world.
CC Sabathia, a dominant left-handed pitcher, was a force on the mound throughout his career. With his powerful arm and fierce competitiveness, Sabathia was a perennial All-Star and a key player for multiple teams.
Billy Wagner, a flame-throwing closer, was one of the most feared pitchers of his era. With his electric fastball and devastating slider, Wagner racked up strikeouts and saved countless games for his teams.
These three players have left a lasting legacy in the world of baseball and their induction into the Hall of Fame is a well-deserved honor. Congratulations to Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner on this incredible achievement.

Cooperstown is getting itself a troika of southpaws, representing almost every phase of baseball greatness: An indomitable hit machine in the batter’s box, a classic workhorse on the mound and a relief ace whose stuff plays well in any era.
Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia were elected to Baseball’s Hall of Fame on Tuesday night, Suzuki in overwhelming fashion, while Billy Wagner made the most of his 10th and final appearance on the ballot, clearing the 75% barrier to inclusion by earning 325 of 394 votes.
Suzuki nearly joined Mariano Rivera – a man tasked with pitching just one inning in almost all of his outings – as the only unanimous selections to the Hall. He received 393 of the 394 votes for a total of 99.746%, second only to shortstop Derek Jeter’s 99.748% showing in 2020 as the highest for a position player in Hall of Fame voting.
Wagner’s 82.5% vote total cleared up the only real tension of the night, as he missed by just five votes in 2024, when he was named on 73.8% of ballots. Now, the Hall of Fame is ensured a trio of electees via the Baseball Writers’ Association of America come July.
It should be a massive and raucous and multi-national contingent.
Suzuki is the first Japanese player to earn Hall of Fame induction, producing top-tier Cooperstown numbers despite not starting his major league career until he was 27 years old. That didn’t stop him from compiling 3,089 hits – he had 4,286 between the majors and Japan’s top league – and winning a pair of batting titles. He began his career with 10 consecutive 200-hit seasons and in 2004, his fourth season, set a major league record with 262 hits.
Suzuki did it all with a dash of showmanship and subtle but undeniable panache. Sabathia, meanwhile, was a tugboat willing his teams to success while hanging zeroes on the scoreboard. Sabathia won 251 career games and, despite a 3.74 career ERA, accumulated 62.3 WAR over his 19-year career.
Suzuki, Sabathia and Wagner will be joined by veterans’ committee selections Dick Allen and Dave Parker on induction day in Cooperstown on July 27.
In 2025, three legends of the game will be eligible for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame: Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner. These three players have left an indelible mark on the sport and have solidified their places among the all-time greats.
Ichiro Suzuki, known for his impeccable hitting and incredible speed on the basepaths, amassed over 3,000 hits in his illustrious career. The Japanese outfielder was a 10-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove winner, and won the American League MVP in 2001. Ichiro’s unique style of play and dedication to his craft made him a fan favorite around the world.
CC Sabathia, a dominant left-handed pitcher, racked up over 3,000 strikeouts and 250 wins during his time in the majors. The six-time All-Star and 2007 Cy Young Award winner was known for his fierce competitiveness and ability to deliver in big moments. Sabathia’s leadership both on and off the field earned him the respect of teammates and opponents alike.
Billy Wagner, a flame-throwing closer, recorded over 400 saves and struck out over 1,000 batters in his career. The seven-time All-Star was known for his electric fastball and devastating slider, making him one of the most feared relievers of his era. Wagner’s consistency and dominance out of the bullpen solidified his place as one of the greatest closers in baseball history.
As these three players await their induction into the Hall of Fame, baseball fans everywhere will reflect on the incredible impact they had on the game and celebrate their remarkable careers. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner will forever be remembered as legends of the sport.

Ichiro Suzuki, the dominant contact hitter whose 19 years in the major leagues, mostly with the Seattle Mariners, was lined with records and accolades, on Tuesday became the first Asian player elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame.
He received 99.7 percent of the vote, missing a unanimous selection by one total vote. New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, inducted in 2019, remains the only member of the Baseball Hall of Fame to receive 100%.
Ichiro joins starting pitcher CC Sabathia and relief pitcher Billy Wagner as part of the class of 2025 headed to Cooperstown, New York.
Ichiro made his debut with the Mariners in 2001, becoming the first Japanese position player to join Major League Baseball. That season he won both the American League MVP and Rookie of the Year awards.
He went on to be a 10-time All Star and earned 10 Gold Glove awards for exceptional defense and three Silver Slugger awards for his elite offensive ability. Ichiro earned a reputation as an exceptional leadoff hitter (with a .311 career batting average) as well as a formidable right fielder who, even at 5-foot-9, was known to scale the outfield wall to rob a home run.
Ichiro racked up 3,089 hits in MLB after already having played nine years in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball league. Combining his hits from both leagues, he had 4,367 hits across his professional career, the most of any player in baseball history.
Ichiro told NBC News in a 2022 interview that he endured his share of challenges after arriving in Seattle and was intensely aware of how American fans would perceive him. While he said he didn’t set out to “perform for Asians,” he knew his performance would be scrutinized if he didn’t deliver.
“As a player from Japan, as a guy that had led the league in hitting all seven years, and then coming over being a first position player, I knew that I would be judged. And Japan baseball will be judged on how I did,” Ichiro said through a translator. “If I wasn’t able to produce, then they would judge Japan baseball as being at a lower level. And so that pressure was there and that’s what I had to carry.”
Early on, fans would heckle him with jeers like, “Go back to Japan,” Ichiro recalled, describing those interactions as “the norm” for him at the time. But he quickly chipped away at those who sought to doubt or dismiss him, hitting a home run in his first road game. In 2019,he retired with the Mariners, playing his final game at the Tokyo Dome against the Oakland Athletics.
Ichiro was also voted this month into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, receiving 323 out of 349 votes in his first year of eligibility. In 2022, he was the first Asian player to be inducted into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame.
Ichiro Suzuki Makes History as First Asian Player Elected to Baseball Hall of Fame
In a groundbreaking moment for Asian representation in the world of baseball, Ichiro Suzuki has been elected to the prestigious Baseball Hall of Fame. The Japanese outfielder, known for his incredible speed, precision hitting, and strong arm, has solidified his place among the game’s greatest players.
Ichiro’s career spanned over two decades, during which he played for both the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees. He amassed an impressive 3,089 hits in Major League Baseball, becoming one of the most prolific hitters of his era. In addition to his impressive offensive stats, Ichiro also won 10 Gold Glove Awards for his outstanding defense in the outfield.
Throughout his career, Ichiro broke numerous records and paved the way for future generations of Asian players in the sport. His induction into the Hall of Fame is not only a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication but also a significant milestone in the history of baseball.
As the first Asian player to be honored with this prestigious accolade, Ichiro’s legacy will continue to inspire and influence players from all backgrounds. His impact on the game transcends borders and serves as a reminder of the power of diversity and inclusion in sports.
Congratulations to Ichiro Suzuki on this well-deserved honor, and may his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for aspiring players around the world.

That has long been the assumption among baseball fans regarding the Japanese outfielder who played the majority of his 19-year MLB career with the Seattle Mariners, along with stints with the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins.
On Tuesday, that assumption is set to become reality, with baseball’s Hall of Fame class of 2025 being announced at 3 p.m. Players who received votes from 75% or more of those surveyed from the Baseball Writers’ Assn. of America will be inducted at Cooperstown on July 27.
A 10-time All Star, Suzuki is considered a strong possibility to join former Yankees reliever and the MLB’s all-time saves leader Mariano Rivera as the only unanimous Hall of Fame picks.
Suzuki spent nine seasons with Orix in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball before joining MLB and the Mariners in 2001. While Japanese pitcher Hideo Nomo was a star for the Dodgers in the 1990s, Suzuki was the first Japanese position player to enjoy that level of success in the majors.
In his debut season, Susuki claimed American League MVP and Rookie of the Year honors, becoming only the second player to win those awards in any league in the same season. He also won the AL batting title that year, as well as in 2004. By the time he wrapped up his playing career, Suzuki had amassed 4,367 hits as a professional, including 3,089 in MLB.
Last week, Susuki became the seventh first-ballot inductee into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in Tokyo.
While Suzuki also will be the first Japanese player to be immortalized at Cooperstown, he almost certainly won’t be the last. It seems inevitable that Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani will be enshrined there one day as well.
Last season, Ohtani replaced Suzuki in the MLB record books as the Japanese-born player with the most stolen bases in a season (59 for Ohtani, 56 for Suzuki in 2001). Ohtani also finished with 54 home runs in 2024, marking the first time a player has hit 50 homers and stolen 50 bases in the same season.
“He is somebody I admire and look up to,” Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton after matching Ichiro’s mark in September.

Suzuki and Ohtani never got to share the diamond as MLB players, with Suzuki switching to a front office role with the Mariners role the day before an early-season series against the Angels during Ohtani’s rookie year in 2018.
“You can’t even compare me to him because he’s actually doing something that is going to impact not just Japan or here but the whole world,” Suzuki said of Ohtani before that May 2018 series.
Suzuki also might be joined one day in the Hall of Fame by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who was born in Naha, Okinawa, Japan, and has led L.A. to two World Series championships and eight National League West titles in his nine years as the team’s skipper.
In addition to Ohtani, the Dodgers feature two other Japanese players on their roster in pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the newly signed Roki Sasaki. In 2023, Orix’s Yamamoto joined Suzuki as two of only three players to earn three Nippon Professional Baseball MVP awards.
“He is a legend of the franchise. I’m happy to have done the same as him,” Yamamoto said of Suzuki at the time. “Everyone looks up to him, and I’m one of those.”
In a 2022 interview, Sasaki named Suzuki as the baseball player he admires most.
“I like the way he thinks, and the numbers he put up over the course of his career are so impressive,” Sasaki said. “So I’m a big fan of his. And I also admire just how long of a career he’s had.”
Ichiro Suzuki to be first Japanese player to make Hall of Fame. Shohei Ohtani on track to be second
In a historic moment for Japanese baseball, Ichiro Suzuki is set to become the first Japanese player to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The legendary outfielder, known for his incredible hitting and base-running skills, is a sure-fire Hall of Famer with over 3,000 hits and multiple All-Star appearances to his name.
Ichiro’s impact on the game transcends borders, inspiring countless young Japanese players to pursue their dreams of playing in the Major Leagues. His induction into the Hall of Fame will be a proud moment for not only Japanese baseball fans, but for all fans of the game who appreciate his talent and dedication to the sport.
But Ichiro won’t be the only Japanese player to make his mark in Cooperstown. Shohei Ohtani, the two-way sensation currently playing for the Los Angeles Angels, is on track to follow in Ichiro’s footsteps and become the second Japanese player to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
Ohtani’s unique ability to both pitch and hit at an elite level has captured the attention of baseball fans around the world, and his potential to be a game-changing player for years to come is undeniable. If he can stay healthy and continue to produce at a high level, there’s no doubt that Ohtani will one day join Ichiro in the Hall of Fame.
As Japanese players continue to make their mark in Major League Baseball, it’s clear that their impact on the game is only just beginning. With Ichiro leading the way and Ohtani following close behind, the future looks bright for Japanese baseball and its players on the road to Cooperstown.
