Ahn Woo-jin (26, social service worker) will be released from his mandatory military service on Sept. 17. Tommy John Surgery meant to end his rehabilitation from Dr. Neal Elatrice at the Kellan Jov Clinic in Los Angeles in the U.S.A. in September 2023. Ahn recently posted on his Instagram that he was able to pitch at an indoor training site with 7 to 80 percent power.온라인바카라
Ahn Woo-jin is more likely not to return this year than he is to return. If he returns, it means that Kiwoom has entered the climax of the five-way battle. In reality, it is unlikely. Also, there was a two-year hiatus after the match against Incheon SSG Landers on August 31, 2023. It is virtually impossible to throw like before in real life.
Therefore, a scenario in which players gradually prepare for the opening of the 2026 season is highly likely. If he plays full-time for three years until 2028, he can go to the Major League through posting in 2029. All industry insiders mention Ahn Woo-jin as the next batter of Kim Hye-sung (26, Los Angeles Dodgers).
Cha Woo-chan, who retired, picked the best pitchers of each type of pitch through his YouTube channel "Chit Chit Chit" on Wednesday. He picked Kim Kwang-hyun (SSG Landers) and Yoon Seok-min (retired) as the best sliders. He praised them for flying away just like a fastball.
Among active players, Ahn Woo-jin is the best. "I hope Ahn Woo-jin plays in the Major League as soon as possible," he said. "I just want to be Ahn Woo-jin." In fact, Cha Woo-chan is not the only one who thinks like this, but many people in the industry say similar things.
Sliders are Ahn's core weapon. According to Statistics, Ahn's slider hit rates from 2021 to 2023 were 0.240, 0.172, and 0.177. What's surprising is that his four-seam hit rates were 0.231, 0.224, and 0.247.
In the last two seasons, Ahn has been hit harder by sliders than by sliders. Ahn is not a pitcher who throws wide balls like he did in the early days of his debut. However, he still does not boast of pin point control like Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles). Batters tend to adapt themselves to fastballs that go into the middle. Of course, if a fastball like Ahn Woo-jin goes into the middle, he can't hit the ball much more often. However, he was hit sometimes.
Ahn also averaged 142.4 kilometers of sliders during the 2023 season. He is much faster than ordinary sliders. If batters delay the timing slightly while preparing for Ahn's 150-km fastball, he will be able to hit the slider, but he has difficulty producing a positive hit due to his good bending motion.
Notably, Ahn uses two types, fast and short sliders like cutters, and general sliders. Lee Seung-won, Scouts from Arizona Diamondbacks, appeared on KBS N Sports commentator Kim Tae-kyun's YouTube channel "TK52," evaluating that each big slider is more powerful.
Ahn will join the Major League in posting as early as 2029. If he goes to the Major League, Ahn's fastball can be ordinary to hitters. This is why he needs to hone his fastball command and sharpen his slider. He also has curves and change-up, and can play folk ball. As long as he doesn't burden his arms and shoulders, he can become more powerful as he pleases.
