Bae Ji-hwan, who plays for Pittsburgh's Triple-A Minor League team, is not expected to receive a Major League call-up for the time being. Even if there are vacancies in the Major League, there are many Triple-A teams that will be called up first.

Pittsburgh released a press release of its team's Minor League News on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time). According to this, there are many competitors who are playing in Triple-A with Bae, and all of them are performing well. Therefore, even if there is an absence in the Major League, we cannot rule out the possibility that one of these competitors will be called before Bae.

Among Bae's minor league competitors is Nick Gonzalez. He made his Major League debut in June last year, and failed to make the 26-man roster in the opening game of this season, and started the season in Triple-A.

As of Sunday, Gonzalez, who played in a total of 19 games for Triple-A, has a batting average of 0.385 with one home run and 11 RBIs. His OPS, combined with his on-base plus slugging percentage, is a whopping 1.025. Just like Bae, Gonzalez can play multiple infield positions and outfield defense. He also has oriental medicine capability.

Veteran infielder Jake Lamb is also one of the mountains Bae has to overcome in Triple-A.

He debuted in the Major League in 2014 and is a veteran player with nine years of experience in the big leagues. He is better at defense than the bat and was named the 2017 All-Star. Since starting this season with Triple-A under Pittsburgh, he has a batting average of 0.362, two homers and nine RBIs in a total of 15 games as of Sunday. His OPS is also good at 0.990.

Considering the performance and experience of the players currently playing in Triple-A, the dominant opinion in the U.S. local media is that Ram will be called up first in the event of a vacancy in the Major League.

Bae is also playing his part in Triple-A. As of Sunday, he played in a total of eight games, recording a batting average of 0.481, one home run and four RBIs. His OPS is also 1.255.

Bae suffered a hip injury after completing his spring major training this year and did not make the 26-man roster for the opening round. And after about a month of rehabilitation, he recently joined Triple-A and continues to compete for a big league call-up.

As in previous years, Pittsburgh continued its momentum early in this season to take the lead in the National League Central, but seems to have lost momentum recently. As of Sunday, it is ranking fourth with 11 wins and 11 losses with a 0.500 win rate. It has already surpassed Milwaukee, the leader, by four games.

If we believe we need a new engine to renew the team's atmosphere, one of the aforementioned Gonzalez, Lam, and Bae Ji-hwan is likely to be called up. In order for Bae to be selected, he needs to keep his current good form.
