KT Wiz's Ahn Hyun-min (22) proved his eligibility for the Rookie of the Year by winning the beauty of the species.

Ahn Hyun-min is a surprise star who shook the KBO League this year. Ahn Hyun-min, who joined KT in the second round of the 2022 rookie draft (38th overall), made his first debut last year after completing his first year of military service.

Although he played only 16 games in his first year, he showed the possibility of hitting a home run, and began his first-team career in earnest this year.




With a home run distance of well over 120 meters, he has become a fear to the opposing pitcher as he has the ability to pick out the ball.

He showed a strong performance, hitting nine home runs in May, and showed a steady performance with a monthly batting average of more than 300, except for 8. In particular, in July, he won the monthly MVP award with 441 runs and five home runs in 21 games.

He suffered a slump in August and slowed down to a monthly rate of 234 percent, but he has rebounded to a batting average of 344 percent in 17 games since September.




As he regained his sense of hitting, Ahn Hyun-min also competed for 'Hit King'. He fought for the first place in the batting average with Yang Eui-ji of Doosan Bears, about a difference in batting average.

Yang Eui-ji, who finished all regular season games on September 30, recorded a final score of 337 percent. With two games to go in October, Ahn has a batting average of 3.27 percent. Realistically, it was not easy to turn over, but Ahn Hyun-min threatened the lead by swinging hard until the end. He had three hits in five at-bats against the KIA Tigers on the 1st and three hits in five at-bats against the Hanwha Eagles on the 3rd. In the end, he was able to finish the season by raising his batting average to 334.

Although the game between NC and SSG remains, Ahn Hyun-min succeeded in obtaining the first place (0.448) in on-base percentage. He also left his name at the top of batting indicators, including second in batting average, second in OPS (1.018), and third in slugging percentage.




Ahn Hyun-min is listed as a candidate for the Rookie of the Year along with LG Song Seung-ki. Song Seung-ki is highly praised for leading the regular season by keeping one of the pillars of LG's selection with 11 wins, 6 losses and an ERA of 3.50 this season. However, Ahn Hyun-min's performance, who won the batting title with a clear impact, makes him eligible for the Rookie of the Year award.

KT will decide whether to 'fall baseball' depending on the result of the game between SSG Landers and NC Dinos on the 4th. If NC loses to SSG, KT will take the fall baseball stage for the sixth consecutive year. Ahn Hyun-min is also waiting for his first fall.
