Joey Gallo & Yoan Moncada are the only players since they started counting GIDP in 1939 to ground into fewer than one double play per 200 career plate appearances (min 100 PA). Gallo, in over 400 career games, has hit into 6 career double plays.

Ichiro was almost impossible for a defense to DP. He was halfway to first base by the time the ball cleared the batter's box, for crying out loud.

There will be a lot of "another ________" types before there's another player anything like Ichiro. Getting to watch him was a joy.

I'm not looking it up but I'm confident that Steve Garvey had more GIDPs than hits.

Sure but Ichiro was 3 steps towards First Base before the ball even hit the bat.
