Ichiro in MLB The Show 19?

[JDL375]

Any word on if Ichiro will be in MLB The Show 19?

He announced his retirement today so I am hoping that a Day 1 patch does not remove him from the game. I am sure that Mariners fans, and all baseball fans really, would love to have him in the game; and I'm sure M's fans in particular would want to have him for the first 2 Franchise games.

He was on the Opening Day roster, I would think he would have to be in the game.

As for Ichiro himself... as Seattleite/Mariners fan; GROSSLY overrated.

Singles hitter who valued his stats over the team.

When things really hit the skids for the Ms, they asked Ichiro to bat closer to the middle of the lineup, as one of the most skilled hitters in history, undoubtedly, he could have driven in more runs.. but he declined because it would have meant less ABs.

Fitting that he never won squat, and played in next to no meaningful games.

Good question! I don’t think
He will be on the CRP roster though

It’s a 50 50 chance he’s in the game because he played last year but they may patch it. It would make m2o annoying for sine ppl because you can’t change rosters so they could lock it next week without him.

Another question is will the A’s and Ms game be on the schedule for the game? Or don’t get just move those games further on? Can’t remembwr what they did in 2012

Interested to see if he will be on the MTO roster, being that they said it’d be an Opening Day roster

I don’t know if overrated is the correct term to apply to him if those are your complaints. Selfish maybe. But it’s hard to call arguably the greatest hitter of all time(I think he is) overrated.

I’m a huge Ichiro fan but I’m not sure he’s the greatest hitter of all time. Maybe top 10.

Considering that he was an elite base runner, excellent defender and had the best arm in the MLB... If he is the greatest hitter of all time, wouldn’t that make him the greatest PLAYER of all time? Are you ready to say that?
