"I'm nervous when I see defense these days`The foreboding of the head coach Dunn was greater than expected. Ahn Hyun-min was replaced by an injury during the game.

KT Wiz won 7-6 against KIA Tigers at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 31st with Kim Sang-soo's two-run timely hit in the bottom of the ninth inning.

However, he is in a position where he can't just laugh. Ahn Hyun-min, a key member of the lineup who actually booked the Rookie of the Year award this season and even the MVP of the season, was injured while defending in the top of the eighth inning.




Recently, KT coach Lee Kang-chul said Ahn Hyun-min's defensive movements were unstable in the second half of the year, "You don't know when you'll make an accident." However, there was a situation that could be more worrisome than a mistake.

KT's must-win group Lee Sang-dong was shaken in the top of the eighth inning when it was leading 4-3. He allowed Choi Hyung-woo, the first batter, to hit the ball. KT deployed veteran Woo Kyu-min, but KIA countered with a pinch hitter Na Sung-beom. And Na Sung-bum hit a double and became second and third base with no outs.

KT put in Son Dong-hyun, a must-win group, and took a breather by striking out Oh Sun-woo. Then, Park Young-hyun, the closing player, made an early appearance.




However, Park Young-hyun allowed a sacrifice fly to Kim Seok-hwan, making it 4-4. KIA Kim Kyu-sung hit a ground home run that hit the right fence directly with two outs and second base.

It was a ground home run on record, but it was because KT right fielder Ahn Hyun-min failed to make a second move after the fence play. Ahn Hyun-min jumped to catch a direct hit to Kim Kyu-sung's right fence and suffered a knee injury while landing after colliding with the fence. Ahn Hyun-min could hardly move, collapsed on the spot. As a result, Kim Kyu-sung stepped home while the ball process was delayed.

Ahn Hyun-min's face, who was replaced by Jang Jin-hyuk and headed to the locker room, looked painful. Ahn Hyun-min's red-hot face was frowned upon.

Regarding Ahn Hyun-min's condition, a KT official said, `After defense, he was replaced to protect the player due to pain in his left knee. We are currently icing, and we are going to have a hospital check-up after watching the condition."

As a result, fatigue accumulated in the process of spending his first full-time season seems to be rising due to repeated injuries. Ahn Hyun-min's ankle was bent while dealing with Cardinez's ball on the 15th and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Regarding the situation at the time, KT explained that it was a symptom of muscle clumping in both calves, but after undergoing a detailed examination such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), symptoms of defection were observed in the muscles behind both calves.

Ahn Hyun-min, a monster until July, has disappeared, although he has consistently played without canceling the entry. He has a batting average of only 234 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.667 without a home run for a month in August.

It may be the result of the analysis of other teams, but it is clear that Ahn Hyun-min's overall condition is quite different from that of the first half. Coach Lee Kang-chul said, `Because he is muscular, he weighs a lot. So it's not easy to run while managing. In particular, when running on artificial turf, fatigue rises rapidly, he lamented.

KT came from behind to win 7-6 with Kim Sang-soo's two-run timely hit in the bottom of the ninth inning, trailing 4-6. In order for KT to perform well in autumn baseball, Ahn Hyun-min's strength is essential. This is why baseball fans are paying attention to Ahn Hyun-min's injury.
