Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bae's 2024 season was derailed by hip and wrist injuries that kept him sidelined for significant portions of the first half of the campaign. By that time, a combination of Nick Gonzales and Jared Triolo had established themselves as the primary contributors at second base in Pittsburgh, causing Bae to see the majority of his plate appearances in the minors. Gonzales likely did enough to establish him as the starter at the position to begin the 2025 season, while Oneil Cruz's shift to center field closed Bae's obvious paths to playing time. If he does find plate appearances, the skills evaluation for Bae is fairly straightforward. He has excellent speed and is capable of racking up stolen bases quickly, though the rest of his skills profile is mostly empty. Read Past Outlooks
Promoted Friday
The Pirates recalled Bae from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bae was up with the Pirates for the first week of the regular season but was demoted after going 0-for-4 in two games. The 25-year-old will rejoin the big club Friday after posting a .258/.343/.376 slash line with one homer and six steals in 23 games with Indianapolis. Enmanuel Valdez (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured in a corresponding move.

Stat Review
How does Ji Hwan Bae compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2020
Bae began the 2023 season as a regular in the Pirates' lineup by serving in a strong-side platoon role, albeit split between second base and center field. Even after missing one and a half months with an ankle injury, Bae ended the season with 24 stolen bases - a useful haul even in the new offensive environment in which steals are more prevalent. From there, however, there's little positive to point to. Bae posted just a .081 ISO and had a putrid barrel rate of 2.0 percent and an average launch angle of 1.1 degrees. It would still be possible to salvage that profile with strong plate discipline, yet Bae struck out at nearly a 25 percent clip which to a .296 on-base percentage. Not a strong defensive second baseman (-6 DRS), Bae's future role in Pittsburgh is unclear heading into 2024 as he'll be competing with Liover Peguero, Nick Gonzales and Jack Suwinski for playing time, all of whom are almost certain to prioritized ahead of him. For fantasy purposes, he's best suited as a streaming option for stolen bases in most formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to rejoin big club
Bae has a locker in the Pirates clubhouse ahead of Friday's game versus Atlanta, reports Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis in early April after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in two games for the Pirates to begin the season. Bae has a .258 batting average with six steals and an 11:22 BB:K through 23 games at Triple-A this season. Pittsburgh fired manager Chris Shelton on Thursday, so Bae could have a cleaner slate under interim manager Don Kelly, who was previously serving as the bench coach.
