Hanwha registered infielder Ahn Chi-hong in the first division entry ahead of the match against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 29th. Hanwha canceled outfielder Lee Jin-young on the 28th when there was no game.
An Chi-hong, who signed an FA contract with Hanwha ahead of the 2024 season, performed well in 128 games in his first year with a batting average of .300 with 13 home runs and an on-base percentage of .797. However, this season, due to injuries, he played only 40 games and remained at a batting average of 155. He was excluded from the entry again on the 30th of last month, while traveling between the first and second teams without a sense of hitting.
An Chi-hong, who had been reorganizing in the Futures League, raised his batting sense by hitting a batting average of .360 in seven games he played in July.
As it was judged that the sense of hitting had risen to some extent, it was registered in the entry again in 29 days.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `I thought it was time for Ahn Chi-hong to come up. I've been watching the game and I think I've seen enough of the pitcher's balls. From now on, I think Chi-hong (An) should come and play a good role."

Coach Kim said, `It's time to play well. I think the next 40 games are more important than the last 90 games. I think the game ahead is more important than the past"I expected his performance.
