I've noticed Ichiro's plays on line drives are a lot less shaky than guys like Cabrera and Damon because he knows where it's going to go and he doesn't have to use his depth perception to look the ball into his glove. It's very difficult to catch a line drive hit right at you if you need to watch it the whole time to figure out where your glove should be...Damon missed a ball hit right at him two nights ago because he didn't know where to stand and where to put his glove...he guessed wrong, ran too far forward and then awkwardly leaned back and the ball popped right off his glove. You almost never see that with Ichiro and I would argue that Gutierrez is even better than Ichiro at this skill.
