(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Kyung-yoon = Tampa Bay Rays Choi Ji-man (31) hit his 11th home run in the last game of the regular season and revealed his postseason prospects.

On the 6th (Korean time), Choi Ji-man started at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, USA in the 2022 MLB visit to the Boston Red Sox and started as a 3rd hitter and fell 0-3 in the 3rd inning. He exploded a two-run home run that signaled the chase.

After a full-count game against right-hander Nick Pibetta, he passed the left outfield fence ‘Green Monster’ by pushing a 151km/h fastball that was driven to the center of the 6th pitch in a one-on-one opportunity.

It is the first time in 22 days since Choi Ji-man hit a home run against the Toronto Blue Jays on the 14th of last month.

Tampa Bay are 3–4 in the 7th inning, and regardless of the result of the match, they have secured third place in the American League Wild Card.

Tampa Bay will play a wild card match against the Cleveland Guardians starting on the 8th.
