And if you check his infield pops, you'll see one of the reasons that his overall numbers don't match George Brett's.
He has adjustments to make; his new approach, swinging the bat viciously, is leaving the ball TOO far in the air.  He's getting popped up.  He'll make those adjustments.

The other reason that Ichiro's numbers don't match George Brett's, is because he's Ichiro.  The preseason question was whether Ichiro could rebound to HIS previous numbers.
If Ichiro starts swinging the bat lethargically, I'll be the first one to screen-shot it, as I was last time.

As G says, a 95 wRC+ after 11 games against TOR's, that's clear improvement.  Even if you don't want to adjust for BABIP-LD luck.
