Choi Ji-man of Tampa Bay Rays played as a pinch hitter and earned a walk to push him out of the final.

Choi Ji-man played as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning of an away game with the Seattle Mariners in the 2019 Major League Baseball at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, and gave the team the winning run with a push-out walk.

When the bases were loaded with one out in the top of the ninth, which was a 2-2 tie, Tampa Bay Bench put Choi Ji-man on the batter's box. Choi Ji-man took on Anthony Bass.

Choi Ji-man, who cleared a foul in his third pitch after a first strike and a second ball, then picked up three balls in a row to get to base with a walk. A push-out walk that gives the team a 3-2 lead.

Tampa Bay ran to 5-2, adding two runs on an opponent's error and an infield grounder. He then blocked the bottom of the ninth with one run and took the 5-3 victory.

Choi Ji-man, who had been hitless and silent for three consecutive games, set the stage for a rebound with a valuable walk on the day. His batting average for the season remained at 0.256 (76 hits in 297 at bats), but his on-base percentage edged up from 0.350 to 0.352.

Tampa Bay remained second in the American League East with 67 wins and 50 losses. Seattle remained at the bottom of the American League West with 48 wins and 69 losses.
