Pretty amazing that we are even talking about this, as he began the season on the DL. He currently leads the majors with 157 hits (with 6 hits in 3 games so far in August). He has 26 games left in August, as the Mariners only have one off for the rest of the month (ugh). He is averaging 1.602 hits per game this year, just off his pace of 1.627 per game in his record breaking 262 hit season in 2004 (he has averaged 1.424 per game for his career).

If you project out his average this year, he needs 27 games to get 43 hits to get to 200 for the season, which is just one more game than the Mariners play this month.

With 1962 career hits, he needs only 38 for 2000, which is 24 games based on his 2009 pace.

Either way, both milestones are just around the corner.

Since 2001, both of their rookie seasons:

Games:
Pujols - 1346
Ichiro - 1378

Hits:
Pujols - 1651
Ichiro - 1962

Walks:
Pujols - 778
Ichiro - 401

Hits plus walks:
Pujols - 2429
Ichiro - 2363

Hits plus walks per game:
Pujols - 1.805
Ichiro - 1.715

Career Batting Average:
Pujols - 1651/4952 = .3334
Ichiro - 1962/5891 = .3331

Pujols - 355 HRs and 1074 RBIs
Ichiro - 80 HRs and 496 RBIs

With a higher Batting Average, HRs, RBIs, and pretty much every other stat other than stolen bases, Pujols has Ichiro beat.

Ichiro is a great hitter, but Pujols is a better hitter, and a great slugger as well.

Pujols is better, but adding in the Ichiro's superiority at stealing bases, plus his gold glove defense in the outfield, its still pretty close (which is better than many other people can say in this day and age).
