Jake "Baby Ichiro" Mangum is gonna have had a heck of a career once he leaves Starkville. He's got the funniest looking gait too, but he's pretty damn quick so who cares

For those who missed it, Robson is back and solidifies our outfield as probably the best in the nation.

I lived in Japan when Ichiro hit the bigs over there. Ichiro was really fast. He lead the league in steals, and he had a cannon for an arm.
He always played RF. When Orix went into the field, he stood in one corner of the outfield, the left fielder stood in the other corner. The left fielder would throw it to center, the center fielder would throw it to Ichiro, and he would throw it across the field to the left fielder who didn't have to move an inch to catch the throw. You would have to see it to believe it.
There are a lot of Ichiro throwing highlight videos. Here is one if you have a few minutes and really appreciate good defense, and quite frankly, these are from the Major Leagues when he didn't have the stuff that he did through the first 10 years in Japan's big leagues.
