Bae Ji-hwan of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the US Major League showed off his unique speed and succeeded in stealing his 15th base of the season.
Bae Ji-hwan started as the 7th hitter and second baseman in the 2023 major league away game against the Seattle Mariners held at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, USA on the 28th (Korean time) and recorded no hits, 1 walk and 1 base in 1 at-bat.
He wasn’t off to a bad start. In the first at-bat in the top of the second inning with no runners on base, he got on base with a ball that hit his body, and then immediately stole second base. Then, without missing the Seattle catcher’s throwing error, he ran straight to third base and gained one more base. However, he failed to score due to a misfire on the follow-up.
Bae Ji-hwan, who succeeded in stealing his 15th base of the season, moved up to tied for 4th in the major league stolen bases and 2nd in the national league with Jorge Mateo (Baltimore Orioles) and Bobby Witt Jr. (Kansas City Royals).먹튀검증
Bae Ji-hwan then withdrew with a ground ball to the second baseman in the second at-bat in the top of the 5th inning. He finished the game by being replaced with a pinch hitter at the plate in the top of the seventh inning after recording a throwing error on defense in the bottom of the sixth inning. His season batting average is 0.269.
Pittsburgh failed to attack the Seattle mound and knelt down to 0-5. He bowed his head in an empty ball recording only two hits in nine innings.
