"I want to bring the home run title back. And the bigger dream is..."
Did Noh Si-hwan, the fourth batter of the Hanwha Eagles, do well or not last season.
Noh had a batting average of 272, 24 homers and 89 RBIs in 136 games during the 2024 season. As a batter who hits big, he still has homers and RBIs. As Noh Si-hwan was described as a season when he lacked performance. The impact of winning the title in homers and 101 RBIs in the 2023 season was too great. Some rated him as the cleanup hitter even though his team had failed to advance to the post season, not knowing if it had played fall baseball. It also hurt to be out due to shoulder injury in the middle of the season.
"Honestly, I didn't think I was able to do that last year. However, as my performance in the 2023 season was so good, I know I had high expectations when comparing it with that performance," Noh said. "Last year, I was in good condition until the camp, but failed at the exhibition game. I was also embarrassed because I felt bad early after the opening, and I think that was linked. And I realized that I shouldn't get hurt."
Noh said, "The moment I let my guard down just because the batting theory has been sorted out to a certain extent, a slump could have occurred. I will follow my routine without letting my guard down. As part of that, I lost a lot of weight. I lost about 10 kilograms and joined the first camp in Australia. Power heaters take care of weight loss. They worry about losing weight. They don't have any worries. I tend to lose weight during the off-season. I usually lose weight during the off-season. Then I gain a little bit in the season. Even if I lose weight, I get home runs. Rather, I feel more comfortable with defense. When I gain weight, I get sick."
It is a very important season for Hanwha. It is the first season under manager Kim Kyung-moon and the first season at a new baseball stadium that he longed for. He has a goal that autumn baseball should be done as the basics. Roh Si-hwan also regains the title of home run king and it will be the icing on the cake if his team advances.
Noh Si-hwan said, "Of course, I want to be the home run king. But I think I have too many competitors." Last year, the home run king Davidson renewed his contract, and Kia Tigers MVP Kim Do-young is expected to display even more skill. Notably, Kim Do-young is a rival of the Golden Glove and has become a rival of the best native batter in the competition for the third base position.
"Kim Do-young is really different. I couldn't do that when I was 22. It's never easy to top the league at that young age. I hit home runs and steal bases," Noh said. "I like having competitors like these. They showed good pace in home run competition, so I can concentrate more and I think it's a good thing."
When asked if he had a dream to enter the 토토사이트 Major League last time, Noh said, "Of course I do. It has been my dream ever since I started playing baseball. It was so cool to see (Kim) Hye-sung (LA Dodgers) or (Lee) Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) advance to the Big League this time. I always think that it would be good for them to follow the path that their seniors have paved. Of course, I also have a big dream."
