Ichiro also went 2-for-5 with a double at the plate.

Though Ichiro was best known for his incredible ability to hit for average and his shutdown defense, he’s been displaying his pitching prowess as well, recently holding open pitching practice in Japan. It looks like Ichiro isn’t leaving the game of baseball behind for good anytime soon.
