Bae Ji-hwan (25, Pittsburgh Pirates) played in a Major League Baseball (MLB) game for the first time in 55 days, but unfortunately failed to produce a hit.
Ji-hwan Bae recorded no hits in 3 at-bats and 1 RBI in a visiting game against the Arizona Diamondbacks of the American Professional Baseball League held at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, USA on the 28th (Korean time).
The season batting average fell from 0.208 to 0.185, and the number of RBIs increased to 3.
Bae Ji-hwan was called as a replacement player as former All-Star outfielder Brian Reynolds was placed on the funeral leave list.
Bae Ji-hwan, who appeared in his first big league game since the Toronto Blue Jays game on June 3, started as the 8th hitter and right fielder that day.
In the first at-bat in the top of the third inning, with Pittsburgh trailing 1-4, the first baseman grounded out.
In the top of the 5th inning, with Pittsburgh trailing 2-4, he hit a sacrifice fly to center field with no outs on second and third base, scoring one RBI.
In the 7th inning, he struck out, and in the top of the 9th inning with 2 outs, he was caught by a fly ball to left field in his last at-bat.
Pittsburgh lost 5-9.
