My Take
Two hundred sixteen hits in a single season still reads like a typo. Akiyama set that Japanese record in 2015, which really means hitting safely almost every night for six months. He was never the anointed prospect out of high school; he built it in increments at Seibu, tried Cincinnati, then came home. Near forty, still in the Hiroshima outfield.
