"Our (Roh) Si-hwan is doing so well in defense right now."
Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon emphasized his unwavering faith in No. 4 hitter Noh Si-hwan (25). It is true that Noh Si-hwan's batting sense is currently falling, but the fourth batter is the face and color of Hanwha's batting lineup. Noh was also the fourth hitter of the national team, which got younger. I've already proven my skills, and now I need to know how to overcome these difficult times. If you overcome it without collapsing, you can be reborn as Hanwha's fourth batter.
The problem is that the waiting time is terribly difficult. The time for coaches and players to endure each other's teeth is getting longer. In June, Noh had a batting average of 0.059 (one hit in 17 at-bats) in five games. In 30 games since May, he has a batting average of 0.184 (21 hits in 114 times at bat), two homers and 17 RBIs. This shows that he has been wandering around at bat for more than a month.
Still, coach Kim praised him first and comforted him. Often, when the batting pace falls, mistakes are made due to the lack of concentration because they keep thinking about what they were sorry about at bat even when defending, but Roh Si-hwan does not. It is true that it is regrettable at bat, but he stressed that he is fully contributing to the team by faithfully defending as a third baseman.
Manager Kim said "We're holding out right now while Si-hwan is the worst hitter. And Sihwan is doing really well in defense right now. If Si-hwan has confidence on the offensive side, we'll probably have a scoring ability or a little more power. You have to wait until then. Other players need to cheer up and do more" he said.

Coach Kim continued "Usually, if (the bat) doesn't fit, I just try to rest and hit, but he said he would defend until the end. I'm grateful for that as a director"He praised his attitude to play more for the team without just thinking about his individual performance."
As of the 7th, Hanwha is in second place with 36 wins and 26 losses in the season. It is 1.5 games behind the first LG Twins and 2.5 games behind the third-place Samsung Lions. Until now, Cody Ponce, Ryan Weiss, and Ryu Hyun-jin have continued to fight for the lead by winning even a small number of points, adding the strength of the strong starters and the bullpen, which is centered on closer Kim Seo-hyun.
However, Ryu Hyun-jin left on the 6th due to an injury to his left adductor muscle, creating a pretty big hole. The vacancy is filled with Cho Dong-wook right now, and Moon Dong-ju, who is in the second division, is adjusting the timing to join. At times like this, the batters have to explode more, so now Noh Si-hwan has to cheer up.
Noh Si-hwan failed to lay the groundwork for a rebound in the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 6th. He was silent with no hits in three at-bats, but still got one walk. Hanwha lost 2-3 and lost for the second time in a row. It was good to push KIA to the end with two solo shots by Lee Jin-young and Chae Eun-sung, but they couldn't score a lot. Roh Si-hwan, the fourth batter who led Hanwha with 31 home runs and 101 RBIs in 2023 and 24 home runs and 89 RBIs in 2024, is urgently needed.
