‘A Dizzying Moment’… Bae Ji-hwan Hits a Ball at 162 km/h, Hitting Yankees Pitcher’s Head


Bae Ji-hwan (Pittsburgh Pirates) experienced the most dizzying moment since entering the Major League Baseball (MLB).

On the 16th (Korean time), Bae Ji-hwan played as the number one 카지노 hitter and second baseman in the home game against the New York Yankees at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, hitting 1 hit in 4 at-bats and walking 1.

He went to the base twice, hit home in both cases, and scored one RBI.

In the bottom of the 6th inning, when Pittsburgh was trailing 2-3, Bae Ji-hwan was at bat with 2 outs and runners on first and second base, and he spun his bat vigorously at the outside curve of Yankees left-handed pitcher Anthony Misevich.

The batted ball, which flew at 161.8 km/h, struck Misevich in the face and bounced far in front of right field.

American media sources reported that Bae Ji-hwan's batted ball appeared to have struck Misevich between his right temple and ear.

After being hit by a batted ball that flew extremely fast, Misevich fell to the ground in pain, and Bae Ji-hwan, who went to first base, sat down and looked at Misevich with a worried expression.

He couldn't even express his joy at scoring the tying run.

In the end, Misevich left the ground in the stadium transport vehicle with his trainer.

Bae Ji-hwan went to second base on a ball hit by the follow-up batter and then scored on a timely hit by Key Brian Hayes.

Bae Ji-hwan reached base with a walk in his first at-bat in the first inning and scored the first run when a sacrifice fly came out.

He retired with a ground ball to third base in the second inning, a strikeout in the fourth, and a ground ball to shortstop in the eighth.

Ji-Hwan Bae recorded a batting average of 0.242, and Pittsburgh Pirates lost four runs in the top of the ninth inning, 5-7.

In the top of the 9th inning, when the team was leading 5-4, and with the bases loaded with one out, Bae Ji-hwan made a vicious throw to first base in a situation where the game would have ended due to a double play, giving the team a decisive excuse for a come-from-behind loss.
