Deadly errors, and lost points. In the end, it provided an excuse for a painful upset. Ahn Sang-hyun (29, SSG Landers) eventually headed to the second division.

SSG canceled Ahn Sang-hyun from the first-team entry and called up Seok Jung-woo ahead of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBOI League away game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 12th.

Ahn Sang-hyun received Choi Jung's throw and hit second base and threw the ball to first base when Shin Min-jae hit a grounder toward third base with one out and one out when the LG team was leading 3-1 on the 11th. Shin Min-jae's fast foot seemed to have to settle for catching the leading runner at second base, but LG Bench requested a video review.

As a result of the reading, it was confirmed that Ahn Sang-hyun's foot fell first before the throw arrived during the pivot play process and became an all-safe. In the end, Moon Sung-joo hit an RBI timely hit with two outs and runners on the second and third bases.

Later in the eighth inning, catcher Cho Hyung-woo allowed him to get on base due to an error by catcher Cho Hyung-woo in a strike-not-out situation, and he was reversed after consecutive hits by Oh Ji-hwan and Park Hae-min. In the end, he suffered a painful failure. It lost four games in a row. SSG, which was in the lead, quickly dropped to fourth place.

On the 7th, he also failed to catch Choi Jae-hoon's fly ball in the second inning against the Hanwha Eagles. In addition to Ahn Sang-hyun, there was a series of disappointing defenses, including Jihoon Choi's Bonhead playability defense during the losing streak, and another second baseman, Jung Joon-jae, also missed an ordinary ground ball, and coach Lee Sung-yong also sent a strong warning message earlier, saying, "I said I wouldn't leave it alone if something like this came out once again."

Coach Lee said before the game, "I think it's right for (An) Sang-hyun to do maintenance now. "I'm thinking a lot about (Jung) Jun-jae, but I'm still thinking about it because it's also useful in the steal side," he said. "Now (Oh) Tae-gon is playing that role, because he's leaning a lot toward the special substitute."

However, Ahn Sang-hyun is also a player who eventually has to come back up and play his role. Coach Lee said, "Sang Hyun is also an essential player for the team. He said, "I can do everything in multiple ways, and he was really good last year," adding, "So I decided that it would be better to get off a little faster and stabilize psychologically and build confidence."

We also talked before heading to the second team. Director Lee said, "I hope it will be a little more comfortable." "I told him not to feel pressured because he is a necessary player anyway, to make it stronger and show good performance in the second division, so I will upload it," he said. "Jun-jae said, "I'm going to give him time to go around and make it by increasing the amount of practice."

On this day, Seok Jung-woo will start as the ninth batter and second baseman. Coach Lee said, "We are using the best performance player in the second division as a starting player today," adding, "It was like that last year, and whenever there were injuries or ups and downs, we called up the best-prepared player in the second division. I'm going to do that again this year because the effect has been a supporting force for the team last season," he said.

In the future, I plan to give a chance by registering Hongik University people in Futures. Manager Lee said, "Hong Dae-in has not yet been registered, so he will register around Tuesday after today's game. He said he was okay with the balance, so he continued to think about the second base.
