KT Wiz is sluggish in May. After being swept by the NC Dinos, he lost one draw and two losses to Lotte and one loss to Samsung, losing six consecutive games. With 18 wins, 2 draws and 15 losses, his performance, which was above the 50% winning rate, fell below 50%. The ranking also fell to a tie for seventh place.

The main reason is poor scoring ability with only 3.1 points per game. As the overall hit fell sharply, it became too difficult to score.

Still, he comforted Ahn Hyun-min. KT manager Lee Kang-chul even said "The runner should be out in front of Ahn Hyun-min."




Manager Lee, who did not look good, naturally brightens up his face when talking about Ahn Hyun-min, KT's best hit product this season.

As such, Ahn Hyun-min's performance is 'Gungye Ilhak'. After coming to the first team for the second time this season on April 29, he has been hitting hard. He has a batting average of 377 (20 hits in 53 at-bats) with six home runs and 17 RBIs in 14 games. During this period, all KT hit 13 home runs and 49 RBIs, so Ahn Hyun-min hit 46% of the team's home runs and accounted for 34.7% of the team's RBIs. It's terrible to think about what KT's May would have been like without Ahn Hyun-min.

Many prospects who have been in the first team have shown sluggish performances due to the analysis and physical strength of the other team.




However, coach Lee Kang-chul seemed to see Ahn Hyun-min's long run possibility. It's a home run, but unlike other big guns, it's different in contact. Director Lee paid attention to Ahn Hyun-min's eyes. He is good at following the balls of pitchers that he has never seen before.

Coach Lee said, "(Ahn) Hyun-min has good eyes for now," on the 16th when the match against LG was canceled due to rain. "I have basic strength, but I have good eyes, so there are few strikeouts, so I have expectations." "If you hit an in-play ball, you can get out of it because the batting speed is so fast, or you can make an opponent's error." It's attractive in that regard."

Manager Lee continued "When I played with Samsung, I was good at pitching balls that I had never seen before, including Hurado and Baek Jung-hyun." In particular, he praised Ahn Hyun-min's contact ability, saying, "He hit a home run against a good pitcher like Won Tae-in for the first time."




I saw the star quality as well as the mental state. Director Lee said, `These days, I can only focus on Hyun-min. I'm doing a lot of interviews and getting a lot of attention"It's the first time I'm getting attention by myself, but I think I'm mentally strong. I think there's also a star quality when I see him overcome that."
