This annotated week in baseball history: March 1-7, 2009 by Richard Barbieri March 06, 2009 On March 5, 2009 the second World Baseball Classic kicked off as Japan shut out China. The clear favorites in this year's pool are Japan and Korea, two countries with well-known baseball histories, but today Richard looks at less baseball-oriented Asian countries. Asked to name an Asian baseball player, most fans would probably come up with someone from Japan. Ichiro . ...

... of running the bases well and “pressuring the defense” (specifically going first to third).  Given the Angels’ reputation as a baserunning-oriented team, it’s a bit surprising to see that they are not nearly as effective on the bases as the top teams in the game (namely the Twins and Mets but also, to an extent, the Rangers).  Also interesting, Chone Figgins ranks as one of the very best base runners in the game, comparing favorably with Ichiro, Jose Reyes and Ian Kinsler (who knew?).    Further, ...

Your Next Jimmy Scott's High & Tight Monday Morning Interview: Eric Valent
Published 2/6/2009 by Jimmy Scott at Jimmy Scott's High & Tight
[image] Have you ever been to Japan? It's a small country with too many people. But, putting that aside, it's a great country (do you sense a hint of political correctness here?) with many very nice people. One of the best parts about Japan, if not the very best, is they play a lot of baseball there. Lots of it. We know what it's like when we "import" their stars, guys like Dice-K (winner) and Ichiro (hitter) and Hideo Nomo (pitcher) and Hideki Irabu (the Nolan Ryan of Japan who became a "fat pussy toad" in the States). Do we know what ...

That May he hit grand slams in consecutive games and in August of 1995, when the Mariners made their big move to overtake the Angels, he drove in 33 runs.

... Seattle Mariners- Ichiro Suzuki, 2001. Guilty pleasure- being a fan of Ichiro. I love homeruns, but I also love a player that can wield the bat and seemingly command it to do anything he wants it to as if it were Harry Potter's magic wand. Ichiro is to hitter as Amy Winehouse is to junky. In his 8 season in MLB he's had no fewer than 206 hits in a season, going as high as the MLB record 262 in 2004. ...

Let’s look at his Pitch Data Summary courtesy of the Baseball Reference. Ichiro is making contact. He is connecting on 93% of all pitches that he swings at, which is close to Wade Boggs numbers.

Emil set out to prove in 2006 that he was no fluke. He did not disappoint. He improved in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.

Hot Offseason Action: Seattle Mariners

... know that I have a pretty big bias in favor of my fellow countryman. But his Achilles heel is and always has been his confidence in his own ability to put the bat on the ball. As a leadoff hitter who doesn’t strike out often, he puts the ball in play far more often than pretty much anybody else. Which basically means two things: 1) His ability to beat the throw to first is very useful, and 2) he doesn’t walk a ton, thus relying on his batting average to hold up his OBP (look at his career stats and notice the small difference between his AVG and OBP). So once the ...

Intelligent design in streaks and slumps?

Sticking with hitters, someone more statistically savvy than me (e.g. Tommy) should be able to answer these questions by calculating the “Streakiness” factor for a given player by measuring the average number of plate appearances that separate a specific recurring batting event and calculating the variance of those values. In other words, I could look at Ichiro’s performance in ...

... 100 years after he first made a splash onto the major league scene, Ty Cobb, almost certainly the greatest hitter of his generation and one of the greatest of all time, is somewhat forgotten -- I thank One F for posting that diary, which gives you an idea of how good Cobb was and how many records he still holds. His .367 batting average (and they sell in the gift shop at the museum, a numbered set of cards which total 367 cards, in honor of this) is still the best in history; to give you an idea of how good that is, the leading active player in BA is Ichiro Suzuki, whose .333 average ranks twenty-fifth. Cobb ranks second in runs (though if Barry Bonds plays in 2008, he'll pass him), second in hits (the museum, incidentally, gives Cobb's hit total as 4189, which is the generally accepted new-research total, and which means Pete Rose actually broke his record ...
