Bae’s day is today. In fact, the past two weeks have made him a household name. Pittsburgh Pirates infielder turned utilityman Ji Hwan Bae has been as impressive as any young Bucco beginning to shine on the Major League stage. Primarily a second baseman and shortstop throughout the Minor Leagues, Bae has shined on the diamond and in the outfield as a defensive weapon, especially in a spot unfamiliar to him.
Bae made a spectacular catch in Boston against the green monster in center field during the first week of the season, robbing Rafael Devers of extra bases.
