The fact that he runs so fast around the bases draws attention to the fact that he's running the bases. And it's unusual, so it sticks out.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I can agree with this. It's a confident run, and a gentle slight. I think there's nothing more beautiful than a Kosuke home run swing and trot, but that obviously never happens. He trots the best on the team, way better than Soto's flailing arms/paddling fins...
