Yanks re-sign Ichiro and this clip of him pitching may be why

What can't the man do?

People write songs about him. He's acrobatic along the basepaths. Heck, he even makes baseballs disappear.

These are all reasons why the Yanks signed Ichiro to a two-year contract on Wednesday night. Oh yeah, we forgot, he can also pitch.

Here's video of the the outfielder dialing up some heat in a Japanese All-Star Game. Closer of the future?
