The first place in the team with four home runs and 13 RBIs was also shocked to the minor, and Bae Ji-hwan survived his 9G consecutive appearanceI'm sure you're on the opening roster

This is because Bae Ji-hwan was not included in the list of eight players sent by the Pittsburgh club to the minor league camp on the 19th (Korea time). Analysts say that expectations for Bae Ji-hwan are high, given that the team's No. 1 home run-run and RBI has been a minor player.
First of all, Bae Ji-hwan played as a substitute in the home exhibition game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Bradenton Recom Park in Florida and struck out at one at-bat.
Bae Ji-hwan, who entered center field in the top of the sixth inning, struck out at the plate in the bottom of the eighth inning when he was trailing 0-2. Bae Ji-hwan, the leadoff hitter, misled his bat on right-hander Orion Kirkering's 96.4 mile four-seam fastball that flew to the high course in the middle of the third pitch. a three-pitch strikeout.
With this, Bae Ji-hwan marked a batting average of 0.424 (14 hits in 33 at-bats) in 16 spring training games, one home run, three RBIs, 11 runs, three steals, one walk, six strikeouts, and an OPS of 1.077. He is still No. 1 in batting average and hits in the team.

Among them, Gore-Ski, Solak, and Johnson, who also play outfield, continued to hit quite well in this exhibition game. All three are not included in the 40-man roster. Goreski hit 0.375 (9 for 24), four homers and 13 RBIs, while Solak hit 0.310 (9 for 29 ㅒ, one homer, four RBIs and seven runs). In the case of Gore-Ski, although he was the No. 1 home run and RBI player in the team, he could not avoid going to the minor league.
Gore-Ski, a second-round draft player in 2019, has spent six years in the minor leagues alone, so he has never reached the big leagues yet.
No medium rings were included. This means that the evaluation of Bae Ji-hwan is positive. Now there are 42 players left in MLB camp. Bae Ji-hwan played in eight of the 16 spring training games as a starter and as a substitute. He has started three of the last nine games. However, Bae Ji-hwan, who has played in nine consecutive games since the game against the Detroit Tigers on the 10th, is highly likely to join the 26-man opening roster.
Since Pittsburgh's outfield players are Tommy Pham, O'Neill Cruz and Brian Reynolds, Bae is expected to be a backup outfielder.
Pittsburgh has five games left in spring training from the Tampa Bay Rays on the 20th to the Minnesota Twins on the 25th. He will start the regular season with an away game against the Miami Marlins on the 28th.
