Ichiro Suzuki could have been immortalized as a first-ballot Hall of Famer nearly a decade ago. He was last a full-time starter in 2012, at 38. He logged his 3,000th hit in 2016, when he was 42.
Former Japanese Major League Baseball star, Suzuki Ichiro, has been inducted into the US National Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2025. He is the first Japanese player to achieve this feat.
