📣 DAD’S TAKEON JI HWAN BAE
Two copies of the same base card for a guy who never played a single major league inning for the Mets. That's the magic of modern cardboard, you can immortalize a spring training roster bubble player on official team issue before he gets shipped back to Triple-A Syracuse. At least the duplication gives you a backup when you inevitably forget he existed.
ABOUT JI HWAN BAE
Ji Hwan Bae was born on July 26, 1999, in Daegu, South Korea, and the Pirates signed Bae for $1.25 million in March 2018. He made his major league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates late in the 2022 season, going 11 for 33 with 3 doubles in 10 games, and played both the infield and the outfield, with 5 games in centerfield, 1 in left field and 4 at second base. The Pirates sent Bae to the plate 514 times over the past four seasons and he has produced a .223/.294/.293 line in those, though he stole 37 bases while playing both middle infield spots and all three outfield positions.
He spent his entire with the Pirates until being claimed by the Mets off waivers in November 2025, and was sent outright Triple-A Syracuse in January 2026. Bae had seen big-league action with the Pirates in each of the previous four seasons but has spent the entire 2026 campaign in the minors after the Mets claimed him off waivers in November and then outrighted him to Triple-A Syracuse in January. The collection includes two copies of his 2026 Topps Series 2 base card showing him as a Met, though the Mets released Bae on Tuesday in August 2026.
