Suzuki is also on track to set the single-season record for singles. The record is 206 and Ichiro is on pace for 222. Here are the all-time leaders:

Suzuki is currently at 183.

Barry Bonds is on course to register the fewest hits by a batting champ in a full 162-game schedule. He projects to 136 and the record is 149 by Bonds himself in 2002. Oddly, Manny Ramirez's152 in the same year, 2002, is second. And I'll leave his record-destroying walk totals for another day.
