Mariners manager John McLaren expects his centerfield Ichiro Suzuki to steal 80 bases this season.

All-time theft leader Rickey Henderson swiped 93 bases in 1988 to lead the American League, and Vince Coleman pilfered 81 bases for the Cardinals that season to capture the fourth of his six consecutive National League stolen base titles.

When it comes to Ichiro, he probably could get into the 70s – if he really wanted to. his first season with Seattle.

The success rate during Ichiro’s seven-year MLB career is 81 percent (272-for-338), and his base-stealing percentage has been better the past three seasons (86 percent) than it was in his first four seasons (77 percent).
