Ji-Hwan Bae (Pittsburgh Pirates), who plays in Triple-A in the US minor league, hit a home run in the final game.

Ji-Hwan Bae of the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians, an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, started as the third batter and left fielder in the game against the Triple-A St. Paul Saints (affiliate of the Minnesota Twins) held at CHS Field in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA on the 23rd (Korean time) and recorded 2 hits, 1 home run, 4 RBIs, 1 walk, and 1 run in 4 at-bats.

Ji-Hwan Bae, who produced an infield hit in his first at-bat in the first inning, hit a three-run arch over the center field fence in the bottom of the fifth inning with one out and runners on second and third base while his team was leading 3-2.

In the bottom of the 8th inning with 1 out and bases loaded, he hit a ground ball to second base to add another RBI.

Ji-Hwan Bae, who finished his Triple-A schedule with this game, appeared in 66 games this year and recorded a batting average of 0.341, 7 home runs, 41 RBIs, 49 runs, and 14 stolen bases.

However, he only appeared in 29 games in the Major League Baseball (MLB) this season, and had a batting average of 0.189, 6 RBIs, 11 runs, and 6 stolen bases.

Bae Ji-hwan showed his potential last season, appearing in 111 major league games and recording a batting average of 0.231, 32 RBIs, 54 runs, and 24 stolen bases, but this year, he spent most of his time in the minor leagues due to injuries, including hip and wrist injuries, which compounded his poor performance.

With Pittsburgh having just six regular season games remaining, Bae Ji-hwan will end the 2024 season if he doesn’t receive a call-up to the major leagues.
