Hanwha Eagles infielder Ahn Chi-hong (35) announced his recovery by hitting a home run in the Futures League.
An Chi-hong started the game against the Goyang Heroes in the 2025 Mediheal KBO Futures League at Goyang National Baseball Training Center on the 27th, and played 3 times at bat with 2 hits, 1 RBI, and 1 walk.
An Chi-hong, who opened the game with a heavy hit on Kiwoom left-hander Chung Hyeon-woo in the first inning, got a walk from left-hander bullpen Jeong Se-young in the second inning and got on base again. In the fifth inning, he hit Jeong Se-young's second pitch and hit a 110-meter solo home run that flew over the left fence. An Chi-hong, who was grounded out to shortstop against left-hander Yoon Seok-won in the seventh inning, was replaced by algebraic defense and finished the game with four at-bats.
An Chi-hong returned to action through an exchange match with Japan's Softbank Hawks 3rd division held in Seosan on the 23rd and 25th. An Chi-hong, who was the first designated hitter in all three consecutive games, had no hits in three at-bats on the first day, two walks, and no hits in four at-bats on the second day.
However, on the last day, he broke his silence with two hits and two RBIs in five at-bats, including one double, and in the match against Goyang, he played first base defense and raised his batting sense with multiple hits in two consecutive games, including home runs. It is likely to be a first-team call-up soon.
An Chi-hong, who is considered one of the most consistent players in the KBO league, is having his worst personal season this year, however. He had a batting average of 98 (five hits in 51 times at bat) in 16 games, had no homers, five RBIs, five walks, 13 strikeouts, and on-base percentage of .179 with .098 OPS.277 on-base hit, and was canceled twice from the first team entry. 안전놀이터
His physical condition was a problem. He had difficulty controlling his condition due to aftereffects of abdominal pain in the early days of the season, and was excluded from the entry for the first team on April 7. He underwent recovery and adjustment time in the second team for 16 days. Even after returning to the first team, however, he had little recovery due to his batting average of 1443, three hits in 21 at-bats, and an OPS of 0.286 in six games.
