Fun fact : 11:20 Kawa tried to steal the Ichiro’s 4,000th hit ball on the field, an ump asked him to hand it over but he pretended he doesn’t understand English

MLB needs someone like Kawa now. That’s what it’s missing, someone to help remind everyone that baseball is supposed to be fun. I love this Guy and I’m always amazed at the baseball talent the nation of Japan produces. Thank you Munenuri San!

My God, he was such a baby when he was drafted. Not by attitude, mind you; it's perfectly understandable to have doubts about one's ability. I mean he looked so incredibly young.

He said when he contracted with Mariners minor league, he has no idea what the hell he was doing. 😂 He actually had an offer from major, Red Sox, but all he wanted to do was to be close to Ichiro. He thought it was like being in a farm team in Japanese league and it would be easy to go up to MLB…”Not the case! Do not contact with any minor league!!!😂” he said later during a Japanese interview.

On another video, a Japanese person commented that Kawasaki is extremely odd, and has a bizarre sense of humour in his native Japanese tongue. It’s not just cuz he’s bad at English. Lol I believe that. He’s definitely a unique rabbit. 🥕

Just found this video man and yeah I remember him vividly even though I’m not a fan of any of the teams he played for so he’s definitely remembered. His injury tendencies and lack of power make sense with a nerve disorder. You can’t barrel the ball as consistently as he did without running into more extra base hits then Kawasaki ended up having. In the end one hell of a player and one hell of a human…
