I cant remember the exact numbers, but it was something like 750+ to left, 750+ to right 800+ to center and 700+ on the infield. It was pretty insane at how even the numbers were.

Agreed.
pure hitting is almost a lost art in todays sabermetrics world.
With Ichiro more or less finished, I think the chances of a .400 season, and 57 game hit streak have retired as well.

But on a pop up on the infield that everyone one just stands around and watches it drop between them all, that, is a hit. Baseball really just needs to make a "team error" stat, for both situations.

The chances of Ichiro doing those things retired almost a decade ago.
Vlad Guerrero Jr., though.

I was poking around on Baseball Reference and realized that he plays on the same team as Dante Bichette's son. And Craig Biggio's son is on the team, too! WTF?
