Ichiro has been UNLUCKY...that is clearly indicated in the lack of BABIP despite the high LD%. I wouldn't say Ichiro's been hitting all that well...Doc is more rosy than I am on that...but his line drives are up and his Ks are down, as are his swinging strikes. That should produce a .320 average if he keeps it up all year. Big if, of course. But a 27% LD rate with normal ground ball rate yields a .320 Ichiro at minimum.
