I'm not sure that Ichiro was the first batter that Stanton faced.

You should look at the stats before making any assumptions. Yes, McLemore is a switch hitter - - but, as a LH batter, he hits near .300, as a RH batter, he hit's near .100. This is why you want Stanton in that spot, to make McLemore bat RH. Strictly a percentage play - - which, this one time, did not work. 90% of the time, it probably works.
