The difference in skills of professional players is actually expressed as a sheet of paper. Regardless of the ranking, players have their own strengths when they come to the professional league. However, in many cases, fate is decided by which team and leader they meet and whether they take the opportunity or not. For example, if you are a shortstop with outstanding qualities and have Oh Ji-hwan (LG) on the team, it is hard to dream of becoming a main player for many years. On the contrary, Lee Jae-hyun (Samsung) has received a tremendous opportunity since his rookie days because there is no proper shortstop in the team.
In addition, there are cases where they take the main position by showing super-powerful performances that cannot be left out by chance. Looking at KT Wiz's Ahn Hyun-min these days, it gives a feeling that a star can be born like this.
I knew that power was enormous, but I didn't know that there was even this sophistication. Ahn Hyun-min led his team to a 5-4 come-from-behind victory against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 4th by playing four RBIs on a double, including a two-run shot in the come-from-behind final. KT's home fans were thrilled with a shocking home run with a distance of nearly 145 meters.
This one game is no fuss. He was called up to the first team on the 29th of last month, and he started as the 3rd designated hitter against the Doosan Bears on the 30th. He started the engine with a hit and an RBI. And as soon as the date changed to May, it began to explode. He hit his first home run of the season against Doosan on the 1st, three RBIs against Kiwoom on the 2nd, and no home run against Kiwoom on the 3rd, but he hit the peak with two multi-hit RBIs and four RBIs against the last come-from-behind final home run. The home run against Doosan was symbolic because it destroyed the opponent's strongest closer, Kim Taek-yeon.

When he appeared in the first team last year, he drew attention for his tremendous destructive power. He joined the military as an active duty and served as a cook, and Ahn Hyun-min saw this as an opportunity and increased his muscle mass in the military. However, he suffered a broken finger during the baserunning play, making everyone feel sorry. Even now, there are aftereffects of not bending all fingers.
However, Ahn Hyun-min did not give up and steadily strengthened the basics from last year's closing camp. In particular, he worked hard on defense in the outfield. Originally, he was a catcher, but it was essential to convert to the outfield to save the hit, which is his strength. He was clumsy, but he also gave special training day and night at the Australian spring camp with coach Lee Jong-beom.
Four homers and 11 RBIs in four games. It is a step as good as Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees. How far can Ahn Hyun-min fly. It's just the beginning.
