When Ichiro played for the Orix BlueWave in Japan in 1994, the manager assigned him a uniform with his first name on the back. It was a move designed to promote more interest in the team. As it happened, Ichiro made a huge name for himself by becoming the first player in Japanese baseball to accumulate more than 200 hits. When Ichiro joined the Seattle Mariners in 2001, he continued the practice of wearing his first name on the back of his uniform.

What position does ichiro Suzuki play?
You must not know very much about Ichiro. #1 he is the best Japanese baseball player to ever play in the United States of America. #2 he is absolutely amazing the way he flys around the bases and gets 200+ hits every season. #3 he is an incredible human being, he respects his equipment, teammates, coaches , and just everything so much. Once he threw his bat to the side, not very hard, after being walked and he apologized to the maker of his bat. (He gets all his equipment specially made.) He also is the only player in the USA to wear his first name on the back of his jersey. He dis this because in Japan, Suzuki is a very popular last name, and he wanted to be unique.

Despite popular belief that it was his Little League number...it was not. Ichiro was issued number 51 when he joined the Mariner's as a rookie. Later on after he had shown that he was a prominent player not only for the Mariner's but one of the best in MLB he was offered a lower number. The lower number was '07'. Ichiro declined the lower number '07' and stays number '51' to this day.
