Video: Ichiro Suzuki Dances Around Home Plate to Avoid Matt Wieters' Tag

Found October 08, 2012 on NESN.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Ichiro Suzuki,  Matt Wieters,  Robinson Cano,  Robert Andino
TEAMS: New York Yankees,  Baltimore Orioles

Via NESN:

Ichiro Suzuki has been studying how to avoid tags from Major League's Willie Mays Hayes.

Ichiro scored from first base on a long double by Robinson Cano and had to run all the way around home plate to avoid Matt Wieters' tag.

The cut-off throw from second baseman Robert Andino beat the Yankees' left fielder by a mile, but some quick thinking and swift moves helped Ichiro put the Yankees ahead 1-0. Ichiro has been one of the best contact hitters in MLB history, but he showed off some moves avoiding Wieters that would make an NFL punt returner jealous.
