Ian Choi brings steady middle-infield versatility and pop for Butler
In the 2025 season, Ian Choi gave Butler a dependable SS/2B option who played in 44 games, made 19 starts, hit .182 with four doubles, a triple, and six RBIs, and showed some offensive thump with a .273 slugging mark and 10 runs scored.[1][8][13] The bigger story is the utility: he’s a right-handed middle infielder who has logged meaningful reps across the infield, stays involved on the bases and defensively, and has shown enough gap power to keep pitchers honest even when the batting average lagged.[1][4][13] If a team wants a grinder with versatility, contact upside, and the kind of everyday competitive edge that can stabilize the middle infield, Choi is worth a hard look.[1][4]
