Bae Ji-hwan (Pittsburgh Pirates), who was included in the Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season opening roster but rarely had a chance to play, was eventually demoted to Minor League Triple-A.

The Pittsburgh club announced on the 4th (Korea time) that it will send outfielder Alexander Canario, who was acquired through a trade with the New York Mets, to the Indianapolis Indians, a triple-A team under its wing, to register on the 26-man roster.

As a result, Bae Ji-hwan will head to Triple-A within a week of the opening.

Bae Ji-hwan, who made his big league debut in 2022 and played 10 games, played 111 games in 2023 with a batting average of 0.231 and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.607, but played only 29 games last year.

Bae Ji-hwan, who was out of the opening roster after suffering a hip injury while playing an exhibition game last year, has not settled down in the big leagues since then.

Bae Ji-hwan, who competed for the opening roster in this year's exhibition game, succeeded in entering the big league with a batting average of 0.381 (16 hits in 42 at-bats), one home run, four RBIs, three steals, and a 1.017 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS).

He started the season with the MLB, but did not receive many opportunities to play. He played in only two games, and had no hits in four times at bat.

He started in a game against the Miami Marlins on March 30, but had no hit in four times at bat, striking out three times. He played as a pinch runner at a game against the Miami Marlins on March 31, but was hit by base running.

Bae Ji-hwan sat on the bench throughout the Tampa Bay Rays on the 1st to 3rd, and was eventually notified of his trip to the minor leagues.

He plays for Triple-A and tries to re-enter the big league. 메이저놀이터
