Ichiro, who is an instructor for the Major League Baseball Mariners, participated in the fielders' camp practice that began on the 20th, and devotedly supported the team by playing catch for the main players.
Ichiro, 50, has been an instructor for the Mariners since retiring from active duty in 2019, and on the 20th, he participated in the fielders' general practice in Peoria, Arizona.
Ichiro showed up on the field about an hour before practice started and after exercising his body by running, he played catch with the team's main player, Julio Rodriguez, during general practice.
Furthermore, Ichiro devotedly supported the practice by handing the ball to the knocking coach and picking up balls from the outfield during batting practice.
Ichiro has set numerous records, including the most hits in a season with 262 hits, and it is certain that he will become the first Japanese player to be inducted into the American Baseball Hall of Fame next year, his first year as a member of the selection process.
