Choi Ji-man, invited player to New York Mets spring camp

Choi Ji-man (32), an invited player to the New York Mets' spring camp, played as a defensive back in an exhibition game against the Washington Nationals on the 8th (Korean time).

Ji-Man Choi played first base and defense in the top of the 8th inning with a 3-1 lead in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) home exhibition game against the Washington Nationals held at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

The game ended without a chance to hit, and this year's exhibition game batting average remained at 0.182 (2 hits in 11 at-bats).

Ji-Man Choi, who became a free agent at the end of last season, signed a one-year split contract with the Mets last month.

The split contract has a structure in which the annual salary varies depending on MLB and minor league status, and if you enter the MLB opening game, you can receive an annual salary of $3.5 million.

For Choi Ji-man, this exhibition match is an important stage where his survival depends on it. 섯다
