KT Wiz Ahn Hyun-min, who was replaced after hitting the fence during defense, fortunately avoided losing power. With the diagnosis of a relatively minor injury, he was able to continue his business trip after checking his condition.

Ahn Hyun-min hit the fence in the bottom of the eighth inning while chasing Kim Kyu-sung's ball in a home game against the KIA Tigers at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on Aug. 31. It was later replaced with a limp. Regarding Ahn Hyun-min's condition at the time, KT club was replaced to protect the player due to pain in the left knee after defense. We are currently icing, and we are going to have a hospital check-up after watching the condition."

Fortunately, the team laughed when KT beat KIA 7-6 with Kim Sang-soo's walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth inning, but considering Ahn Hyun-min's injury, they couldn't help but laugh.




Ahn Hyun-min, who has emerged as the No. 1 candidate for the KBO League Rookie of the Year this season, has now become a key hitter of the team. If he leaves because of an injury, he could have fatally wounded KT in a more intense semi-final fight than ever.

Fortunately, the condition is not serious. Ahn Hyun-min underwent a thorough examination at the hospital on Sept. 1, his day off. KT's club said "As a result of the knee MRI examination, it is possible to play after pain control due to sprains and bruises in the front."

However, Ahn Hyun-min is playing close to full-time for the first time since his debut this year and is experiencing a difficult period physically and psychologically as his opponent's checks have become stronger. He has a poor batting performance with a batting average of 2.26 (7 hits in 31 at-bats) in the last 10 games, and his home run has not been released since July 23.




On top of that, he has a lot of muscle, but he is an outfielder who has to play a lot, so the physical burden cannot be ignored. On the 15th of last month, Ahn Hyun-min was replaced after complaining of calf pain during defense against Kiwoom Heroes, but returned after being diagnosed as a symptom of muscle clumping.

This time, it is not out of the entry, but it is necessary to watch carefully until the pain subsides and the knee is able to be used smoothly.
