# Bae Ji-hwan, a platoon victim, has no hits as a pinch hitter... PIT 1-8 defeat

Bae Ji-hwan played as a pinch hitter against the Atlanta Braves in the 2024 Major League Baseball at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the 27th (Korea time) and recorded no hits in one at bat.

He had multiple on-base hits as a starter on the previous day, but failed to maintain momentum as he waited on the bench on the day. His batting average for this season has reached 0.200.

With Atlanta starting pitcher Chris Sale taking the mound, Bae was excluded from the starting lineup. Despite being a left-handed hitter, Bae had a batting average of 0.269 against left-handed pitchers last year, stronger than when facing right-handed pitchers (0.213), but the coach ultimately chose Platoon.

It wasn't until the second half of the game that he had a chance to bat. Bae came out as a pinch hitter for leadoff hitter Alika Williams in the bottom of the eighth inning when her team was losing 1-6. In the face of Dylan Lee, Bae aggressively attacked with two fouls, but struck out after four pitches.[카지노사이트모음](https://www.casinosite.zone/)

The defense was an infielder, not an outfield. He was deployed as a second baseman in the top of the ninth inning in defense.

Pittsburgh scored two more runs in the ninth inning, losing 1-8. 

Bae was excluded from the opening entry due to hip injury, and started the season in the Minor League. After recovering from his injury, he showed off good batting performance in Triple-A. He hit hard with a batting average of 0.367 with four homers, 15 RBIs and seven steals, and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 1.030.

There were several call-up opportunities, but he turned away from Bae Ji-hwan. Bae Ji-hwan, who had a long wait again, was finally called to the big league on the 22nd.

Bae Ji-hwan, who started at the same time as the call-up, showed off his presence from the first game of his return, recording one hit, one RBI, one walk and one stolen base in two at-bats. And while he remained silent with no hits in four at-bats against the San Francisco Giants on the 24th, he played with one hit, one RBI, one run, one walk and one stolen base in the previous game.

His on-base hit stands out. He has a 0.333 on-base hit as he has reached base four times in three games.
