‘At age 50, pitching speed is 138 km/h?’ Ichiro shows off his skills

The talent of the ‘baseball genius’ did not disappear over time. Japanese baseball legend Ichiro Suzuki (50) showed off his rust-free baseball skills.


On the 22nd (Korean time), MLB.com, the official website of the U.S. Major League Baseball, reported the news of Ichiro participating in a game against female high school players, saying, “Ichiro showed off his skills.”


After retiring in 2019, Ichiro created a baseball team called 'Kobe Chiben' with his friends and has been competing against the Japanese women's high school baseball selection team once a year since 2021.


The third match this year was held at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan on the 21st. Ichiro, who also doubled as a two-hitter, performed a one-man show and led the team to a 4-0 victory.


Ichiro threw 116 pitches from the mound, striking out 9 while allowing only 2 walks and 5 hits. What's even more surprising is that his top speed was 86 miles per hour (about 138.4 km).


Accordingly, MLB.com summoned Jamie Moyer, who played as a big league player until the age of 50 and holds the record for the oldest major league starting win. The media said, “When Moyer spent his final season in the big leagues in 2012, his average speed was only 78.6 miles per hour (about 126.5 km). “Honestly, Ichiro could be helpful to the major league team’s bullpen right now,” he praised.


Ichiro once again showed his skills at the plate by getting 2 hits in 4 at-bats, including a double.


Ichiro, who had not recorded a hit in his last two games, could not hide his joy. “Personally, I’m happy that I got a hit. “I’m really happy,” he said. “I’ve been hitting pretty well in the pros, so I’ve been frustrated and frustrated over the past two years. As a batter, he set a goal to somehow get a hit. “I’m really happy,” he said.


Ichiro is a player who played in Japanese professional baseball and played an active role in the major league.


He won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Rookie of the Year awards in his first year wearing a Seattle Mariners uniform in 2001. He got off to an extraordinary start, playing for the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins, and over 19 seasons, he played 2,653 games with a batting average of 0.311, 3,089 hits, 117 home runs, 780 RBIs, 1,420 runs, and 509 stolen bases.


He left a remarkable record, including being selected as an All-Star 10 times and winning the Gold Glove 10 times. He is also predicted to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. 카지노사이트
