The Orioles and Rays were locked in a 2-2 tie during the seventh inning of their game on Thursday. That's when Ji-Man Choi stepped to the plate for Tampa Bay and put a mighty swing on a pitch from Alex Cobb.
The ball sailed to deep left field, back to the wall ...
... just shy of a homer.
A replay review ruled that it was indeed a double, so Choi had to stay at second base. Fortunately, he came around to score the go-ahead run anyway on a single by Adeiny Hechavarría. The Rays went on to win, 4-3.
Choi's a man who values his dingers though, so he immediately set to work on muscling up for that extra strength to get the ball out:
He'll be slugging bombs in no time.
