KT Cinderella Ahn Hyun-min made a surprise appearance this season with LG Song Seung-ki.

The two middle and high school rookies are dividing the world of the 2025 Rookie of the Year title, beating all the prominent high school rookies.

The two players are performing amazingly. Head coaches of other teams are also thumbs up.




Hanwha head coach Kim Kyung-moon, who has an excellent eye for players, expressed surprise about Ahn Hyun-min.

Coach Kim admired Ahn Hyun-min's performance while watching the highlights of the KT game before the match against Daejeon LG on the 13th, which was canceled by rain, saying, `It looks like a Latin American foreign hitter has appeared.' "He's good at defense, he's fast on his feet", "It's not a bat he hits somehow. "I think he's playing steadily because he knows how to deal with breaking balls." This means that it is highly likely not to be a sensational performance.

In fact, amid the evaluation that Giancarlo Stanton (New York Yankees) is the Korean version, Ahn Hyun-min maintains a hot bat that does not cool down.

In 39 games, he played 165 at-bats, 50 hits in 144 at-bats (0.347) with 12 homers and 41 RBIs. If the batting average meets the regular at-bats, it is sophisticated enough to rank second in batting after Samsung's Kim Sung-yoon. His trademark slugging percentage reaches a phenomenal 0.694, and he also picks out the ball well.




With an on-base percentage of 0.430, the gap on-base percentage is close to 10%. This means that he can pick out bad balls while hitting home runs and long balls.

He is also good at coping with breaking balls, making the opponent's battery difficult. He is also strong in chances, with a batting average of 0.341 in scoring position. He is currently the hardest player to deal with among KT hitters. Some even say it was last year's MVP KIA Kim Do-young. Kang Baek-ho, the main catcher, appeared as a surprise gift to the KT lineup, which is missing due to injury.

It is a surprise appearance of a monster hitter who can't help but envy all nine team head coaches.




Hanwha is also looking forward to the birth of Cinderella. It is infielder Park Jung-hyun who was the home run king of the Futures League on the 17th.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `There is a friend who is expected to be discharged from the business office before the match against Daejeon LG on the 13th, when rain was canceled. Last year, I heard that I won the 1st place in home runs (16 home runs) in the Futures League. I want to see it too."

Ahn Hyun-min, who wore KT's uniform as the 38th in the second round of the second round in 2022, has no record of playing in the first division until he joined the active duty. In the Futures League, there were only two home runs and 11 RBIs with a batting average of 0.231 in 42 games in 2022. After serving in the military, he returned to the Terminator through bulk-up.

Park Jung-hyun, Park Young-hyun's brother, who joined Hanwha in the 78th place in the second round of 8, 2020, also had a career-high six home runs and a slugging percentage of 0.301 for four seasons before joining Sangmu. However, after joining the military, he became the home run king of the Futures League last year with 16 home runs, 66 RBIs, 0.517 slugging percentage and 0.372 on-base percentage in 91 games in the Futures League.

Park Jung-hyun returns to Hanwha with power. Will he be able to establish himself as a big infielder. A player who is essential for Hanwha's batting lineup is set to return.
