In 2001, Ichiro Suzuki didn’t just arrive in Major League Baseball — he detonated every expectation the sport had for a “rookie.” At 27 years old, the Seattle Mariners’ new right fielder became only the second player in MLB history to win Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season, leading a 116-win team with jaw-dropping precision, speed, defense, and all-around disruption.
