The LG club said on the 22nd that outfielder Ahn Ik-hoon, who was training at Futures, has officially announced his intention to retire today and agreed to sign as a coach for Futures Remaining Forces.
Ahn Ik-hoon will attend the fan thank-you event 'Love Giving Day' at Jamsil Stadium and greet the fans in person.
Ahn Ik-hoon is a center fielder who had high expectations for the next generation of Park Hae-min. He was a left-handed, left-handed outfielder similar to Park Hae-min. In the 2015 rookie draft, he was named LG seven times overall in the first round. Ahn Ik-hoon played in the first team immediately after joining the team, showing off his outstanding defensive skills. The center fielder's defense ability was not inferior to most of the first-team main players.
Ahn Ik-hoon is the originator of 'Domino Pizza Defense'. This year, Park Hae-min gained popularity by riding a fence with domino pizza advertisements. Thanks to Park Hae-min's close defense, Domino's Pizza was further exposed, and Domino's Pizza presented pizza to the LG team. Before Park Hae-min, there was Ahn Ik-hoon.
Ahn Ik-hoon blocked the run by chasing NC Na Sung-bum's ball to the end and catching it in the middle of the right during the playoff extension in 2016. Even at this time, he succeeded in defense right in front of Domino's Pizza, drawing attention.
Ahn Ik-hoon was included in the 2023 Korean Series entry, helping him win the integrated championship. However, he was injured and blew the entire 2025 season.
Ahn Ik-hoon hit .276 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.654 and stole seven home runs in 398 professional games.
