Bae Ji-hwan, who returned to injury, was demoted to a minor after the rehabilitation game…Here we go again to return to the big leagues

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced in a press release on Monday that it will restore Bae who finished his rehabilitation game from the 10-day injured list and use the option to send him to Triple-A of the Minor League. Bae’s minor downgrade was expected to some extent.

After staying at the Minor League Triple-A due to hip joint injury he suffered in the spring camp early this year, he joined the Major League on April 21. However, he played in a total of eight games this season and showed poor performance with a batting average of 0.208 and two RBIs and two steals. His OPS, which combined on-base plus slugging percentage, was only 0.477. The narrowing of Bae’s movements also contributed to his downgrade to the minor league.

Pittsburgh needed a large number of its infielders last year due to injuries to its main shortstop O’Neill Cruz (26) and third baseman Kibryan Hayes (27). For this reason, Bae played his first full time in the big league last year, playing not only in the outfield but also in the infielders such as shortstop and second baseman. 프라그마틱 슬롯 사이트

However, he has never played as an infielder this year since joining the Major League due to the irreplaceable return of starting shortstop Cruz and third baseman Hay. He played as a substitute with the outfielder in all eight games.

In addition, the failure to show any significant performance in hitting during his stay in the big leagues is also attributed to the Pittsburgh leadership’s decision to lower him to the minor. Attention is focusing on whether Bae Ji-hwan, whose range of movements has narrowed, will be able to return to the big leagues for the rest of the season.
