If Kim Do-young was the hot hitter last year, this season is definitely Ahn Hyun-min of KT Wiz.
Ahn Hyun-min suddenly hit a home run since May, impressing fans and surprising them with his enormous muscles. He said he would be hit by breaking balls by first-team pitchers because he was just a powerful hitter, but he survived until the end of the first half and hit home runs, and he became a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year.
Ahn Hyun-min, who is still eligible for the Rookie of the Year award in his fourth year of joining the team in 2022, played in 60 games in the first half and recorded a batting average of 356 (77 hits in 216) with 16 home runs and 53 RBIs. He is in a situation where he can challenge more than 20 home runs and up to 30 home runs.
Even in the eyes of Moon Bo-kyung, a 25-year-old young No. 4 hitter of the LG Twins, Ahn Hyun-min was a mystery.
Moon Bo-kyung has been playing as LG's third baseman since 2022, when he was in his third year of joining the team. Last year, he had a batting average of 311 runs, 22 home runs, and 101 RBIs while taking the fourth batter's spot. This year, he has been sluggish since June due to knee pain, but finished the first half with a batting average of 287, 14 homers and 63 RBIs.
When I talked about Ahn Hyun-min to Moon Bo-kyung, the first word was "Wow".

Moon Bo-kyung said "He's a batter who I really don't want to meet while dealing with."If you look at the speed and distance of the batting, you have to strike out some, but you don't strike out and you seem to see the ball very well, and the contact seems to be very good." But it's not that my feet are slow, either." If I were, of course, I wouldn't win or lose. I'm scared...," he said in amazement.
Moon Bo-kyung touched Ahn Hyun-min's arm, who came to third base in the game against KT.
"When I saw him from the side, his arms were really this big. So I touched it because it was interesting," Moon Bo-kyung said. "Usually, when touched, there should be some soft flesh, but it was hard even when I was still. That's why I thought the batting speed was like that", acknowledging Ahn Hyun-min's power.
Looking at Ahn Hyun-min, didn't he think about bulk-up. Mun Bo-kyung doesn't seem to do that just because " I think I have to be born with it to some extent. There's no one who doesn't do weights."
It is expected that Ahn Hyun-min's performance will not stop at a one-time event. Looking at what I have, I don't think I'm suddenly good at it. I think I'll do well until the end of the seasonMun Bo-kyung said "If the grade was going to fall, it should have already fallen. But I don't do that. It's so nice to have it. He kept admiring, saying, "He has good contact, good ball, and good power."
