Jul 23, 2025

'4 hits in the first game of the season + countdown to the season's batting average of around 300'

Bae Ji-hwan's bat, who plays for the Indianapolis Indians, a minor league under the Pittsburgh Pirates, danced. The hit on Bae Ji-hwan's bat, which contained the desire for a major league comeback, extended to the outfield immediately after being hit and became a hit. In the end, Bae Ji-hwan achieved '4 hit game' for the first time this year.

Bae Ji-hwan started as the second center fielder in a home game against Tolido Mudhans (Triple A under the Detroit Tigers) at Victory Field in Indianapolis, Indiana on the morning of the 23rd (Korea time) and scored four hits, two RBIs and one run in five at-bats. His batting average has also risen vertically from 0.281 to 0.295 (52 hits in 176 times at bat), putting his entry into the batting average of 300 ahead of him.

It is the first time this year that Bae Ji-hwan has had four hits in a game. Bae Ji-hwan, who had two '4 hit games' for 徨?Indianapolis, played '3 hit games' four times this year, but did not get his fourth hit.

However, he played four hits on the day and became the confident main player of the team's victory. Indianapolis won 7-1 thanks to Bae Ji-hwan's performance. Bae Ji-hwan was at the front of the three "Top Performers" selected by Game Day, a minor league website.

Bae Ji-hwan got on base with a good right-handed hit from his first at-bat with one out in the bottom of the first inning. Opponent starter Wilkel Hernandez hit a slider on the second pitch, which was thrown following a low first pitch ball, and hit a hit that fell in front of right field. The batting speed was 108.5 miles.

If the angle of the hit was a little high, it was a hit enough to expect a home run. The batting angle was only 10 degrees, so it fell in front of right field with a line drive slightly over the infield. Bae Ji-hwan, who went to first base, was forced out of second base when Nick Solanke, a follow-up hitter, grounded out to shortstop.

He then hit a left-handed hit in his second at-bat after one out in the bottom of the third inning. Again, he pulled it properly when the sinker came into the middle of the fifth pitch in the ball count 3B1S against Hernandez. The batting speed was more than 100 miles again this time. It was a 103.2 mile hard hit. Again, the flying angle of the ball was 9 degrees, so it couldn't go far. He easily achieved multi-hit with a straight hit in front of left field.

Bae Ji-hwan was out at second base when Solanke hit an infield grounder again this time.

Solanke, who made Bae Ji-hwan embarrassed twice in a row, hit a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning to allow Bae Ji-hwan to enter the home. First, Bae Ji-hwan made his third hit with a right-handed hit with one out and second base. It was a single, but while the opposing defense threw to third base, Bae Ji-hwan advanced to second base. With one out and runners on the second and third bases, Solanke hit a two-run timely hit, and Bae Ji-hwan scored.

Bae Ji-hwan's fourth hit came in the bottom of the eighth inning. With one out and runners on the first and second bases, he fell next to the second baseman and hit a timely double to the depths of the outfield. Both runners came into the groove. It was Bae's 10th double of the season.

Bae Ji-hwan's hard hit contains a desire for a major league call-up. Bae Ji-hwan entered the opening entry this year, but was relegated to the minor league in two games. He was then called up to the Major League again on May 10, but was also relegated to the minor leagues in five games. In this year's Major League, he played in a total of seven games, and only showed lackluster performance with one hit in 11 at-bats and a 0.091 batting average.

Bae Ji-hwan is aiming for his third call-up. This time, he is continuing his hard hitting from the minor leagues to show a different side.
