Ichiro broke a high school window 426 feet away while showing kids how to hit

Ichiro’s still got it.

Inviting Ichiro to teach some high school players the finer points of hitting was supposed to be a fun outing for everyone involved. Instead the school is now needing to replace a window.

This clip comes from Asahikawa Higashi High School in Hokkaido, who have a very promising team — and one broken window. Not only did Ichiro blast this out of the park, he belted it into the stratosphere a full 426 feet over the team’s protective net and right into a window.

The best part is when the camera cuts back to the 50-year-old realizing what he did and capturing this.

Same face as when I broke my mom’s vase with a football in the seventh grade. Now look, I don’t think anyone would actually suggest that 50-year-old Ichiro could play in MLB right now, but man is it fun to imagine. I mean, dude was batting .255 as recently as 2017 and he was still a good player.

Instead we’ll just have to enjoy watching him as a mentor now. A mentor who breaks things.
