Nitpick time since this is a staple of OS.
Did the ball bounce once on it's way to the catcher? I'm pretty sure Ichiro doesn't have that strong of an arm. But, I'm sure it bounced because after he throws the ball, it has backspin, which is appropriate.
On the third cut to the ball, it has forward spin just as the catcher grabs it. The only way that could happen is if the ball bounces on the dirt.
The video didn't show this so I'm going to nitpick because it's the fun thing to do.
