Bae Ji-hwan (25, Pittsburgh Pirates), who is competing to enter the opening roster, was hitless and silent.

Bae Ji-hwan started in left field as the first batter in an exhibition game against the Baltimore Orioles in the 2025 U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) at Lecombe Park in Bradenton, Florida on the 23rd (Korea time) and had no hits in three times at bat.

However, Bae Ji-hwan's poor performance was not noticeable because the Pittsburgh lineup did not make a single hit on the day. 먹튀검증

Bae's batting average in exhibition games went down from 0.444 to 0.410 (16 hits in 39 at-bats).

In the first at-bat in the first inning, Bae Ji-hwan was blocked by Jack Epplin's changeup, who was selected as the starting pitcher for the opponent's opening game, and turned to a ground ball to the first base.

In the third inning, he hit Eflin's curveball but grounded out in front of the catcher.

Bae Ji-hwan struck out in the sixth inning by misleading the bat on left-handed bullpen Lionel Perez's cut fastball.

Bae Ji-hwan was replaced at defense in the top of the eighth inning and finished the game.

On this day, the Baltimore pitching staff achieved a "team no-hitter."

Pittsburgh's lineup was completely defeated 0-4 with only three walks without a hit.

Pittsburgh's opener Paul Skins pitched well with one hit and four strikeouts in three ⅓ innings.
