It was a shot that really saved the Hanwha Eagles. Veteran infielder Ahn Chi-hong hit the come-from-behind final hit at a desperate moment, achieving his reputation.

An Chi-hong came out as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning against KIA in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 29th and hit a come-from-behind final hit that led to Hanwha's 5-4 victory.

When the team was losing 3-4, Hanwha had a chance to garner a point at the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs and runners on the second and third bases. Ahn Chi-hong was the key to the team's score. Then, Kia launched a winning move by introducing a new battery for Hwang Dong-ha and Kim Tae-gun.
An Chi-hong swung and missed at a fastball of 143 km per hour on the first pitch. The timing was not right. However, he displayed proper response to his fastball of 144 km per hour on the second pitch. As soon as he hit the ball, he could sense that it was a hit. An Chi-hong's hit led to a left-handed hit, and as both runners scored, the Hanwha Eagles came from behind to win 5-4. An Chi-hong's decisive shot gave the team a come-from-behind victory, securing two consecutive wins after four consecutive losses.

In fact, An Chi-hong is still not in 100% condition. His physical condition was completely ruined due to abdominal pain and body aches. Fortunately, over time, he gradually recovered and was difficult to start, but it was possible to wait as a substitute.

It is the final shot of his fighting spirit. "I can't say that I'm still in good condition because I'm really out of form. I just started to improve my condition by increasing the amount of training," An said. "Still, I felt my condition gradually improving, and the coach also said, 'Let's prepare when it's important.' I've been preparing since the middle of the game."

Although he was not in perfect physical condition, he tried to hit the ball actively as he came out at an important moment. An Chi-hong said, "I had no choice but to hit it actively because I came out as a substitute." 온라인바카라

Hanwha had to go through a difficult step as An Chi-hong's condition fell sharply in the early days of the opening. In the last three consecutive games during the week against LG, the batting lineup showed a collective difficulty. An Chi-hong said, "It is right that the results were not good in the beginning. We can play only when good hits are made, but that is not what we can do. So, we talked to each other about 'let's not just put the atmosphere down,' he said, revealing that he tried to raise morale through dialogue even in the face of difficulties.

An Chi-hong, who signed a four-plus-two-year contract with Hanwha for up to 7.2 billion won (6.37 million U.S. dollars) ahead of the last season, had a batting average of .300 with 13 homers and 66 RBIs, trying to keep the pride of the Hanwha Eagles. How about this year? Coincidentally, An Chi-hong's finishing hit was also his first hit of the season. It was his first hit of the season at a very important moment. This means that the veteran has begun to come out with his true value.
