Ichiro Suzuki has been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, becoming the first Japanese-born and Asian player to receive the honor.

Ichiro, who amassed 3,089 hits in Major League Baseball and a total of 4,367 hits across his professional career in Japan and the U.S., expressed his honor at the achievement, stating, "In 2001, when my MLB journey began, I could not have imagined being here today."
