but the eye ratio decline correlates with a decline in O-Swing%. Of course Ichiro's eye was actually worse in '09 when he had one of his better seasons.
Hm. Interesting 'put...
It is a given that when Ichiro has been more aggressive, he has been a better hitter, that's for sure...

Hadn't noticed that Ichiro is swinging at tons more pitches outside the strike zone, but he sure is. Not a good sign. ... would associate that with the need to start the bat earlier.

Of course, the conversation is toward the question of whether Ichiro is going to be adding 55 runs a year, or 40-45, as he moves into his late 30's.
Wouldn't put it past him to invent a way to keep it at 50+.
