Ichiro Suzuki's Baseball Throwing Demo Videos

If you know anything about baseball, then for sure you know that superstar Ichiro Suzuki is one of the very best players ever in the history of the sport. He may also be the very best outfielder to ever play the game as his ten consecutive Gold Glove awards are a strong testament to his excellent play in the outfield.

Ichiro may also have the most accurate throwing ability as well. Recently Sato Pharmaceutical Co., the makers of a popular health tonic or "Genki Drink" called "Yunker", made some cool TV commercials from a series of his amazing baseball throwing demo videos:
