The Yankees want to avoid Choi Ji-man, too Multi-hit, intentional 4 pitches, and 3rd batter’s qualification

Multi-hit and four intentional pitches. He was the team’s third batter. South Korean major leaguer Choi Ji-man (31) of the Tampa Bay Rays played the third base game.

Choi Ji-man started as the third batter and first baseman in a home game against the 2022 Major League Baseball New York Yankees at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time), leaving two hits in three at-bats.

Choi Ji-man, who had his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning without a runner with two outs, showed off his wit to make a bunt hit toward third base against left-hander Jordan Montgomery, who came out as a Yankees starter. However, Randy Arozarena struck out and failed to score.

In the bottom of the third inning, when Tampa Bay led 3-0 with no outs and first base, Choi Ji-man, who also hit a left-handed hit against Montgomery, went back to the dugout as he was forced out of second base with a grounder to second base, and Tampa Bay finished the inning without scoring.

Choi Ji-man, who came out as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning, failed to get on base due to a shortstop line drive out. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Tampa Bay led 4-3 with two outs and a third base chance, but Choi Ji-man filled the empty first base as he ordered four automatic pitches from the Yankees bench. The Yankees’ strategy worked. Arojarena did not lose a point as she struck out on a foul tip.
