The legendary hitter could become the first position player unanimously elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

  • Ichiro Suzuki, a 10-time All-Star and 2001 MVP, is expected to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
  • Suzuki's career includes 3,089 MLB hits, a .311 batting average, and a record-breaking 262-hit season in 2004.
  • Before joining MLB, Suzuki dominated Japan's NPB with a .353 batting average over nine seasons, making him a global baseball icon.
  • He is the first Japanese-born position player in MLB history, paving the way for future stars like Shohei Ohtani.
  • With unanimous support on public ballots so far, Suzuki could join Mariano Rivera as the only players unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame.
