I think a constantly high babip means the hitter is very good, or a has a swing built for not only singles, but ebh as well. Ichiro is also known for having a very high BABIP.

If he happens to be more spread across the field then OF can't play the percentages. Or maybe he has concentrations different than expected and the scouting reports haven't gotten to the opposing teams. Maybe look at his hit location chart compared to players with similar power.
