"I'll do well in the second half and make sure to hit 30 home runs and 100 RBIs."

Hanwha Eagles No. 4 hitter Noh Si-hwan has been embroiled in batting average issues throughout the first half. Home runs and RBIs do their part as center hitters, but even if the batting average was low, it was too low. His batting average was in the 10% range at the beginning of the season, and he survived with a batting average of .300 in April, but he fell back to .26 in May and .213 in June. The season's batting average showed no signs of leaving the early 20% range.

Hanwha is doing well, but when the No. 4 hitter was too sluggish with his batting average, there were talks about this and that, and head coach Kim Kyung-moon also went on 'Umho Shooting'. Even if the batting average is low, what is the problem with hitting when necessary and contributing to defense.




The start of the second half was somewhat ominous. It was a double play against KT Wiz on the 18th, and it was a double play from the first at-bat. In the game against KT on the 19th, he also had a double play at an early decisive opportunity. But heaven did not abandon Noh Si-hwan. He hit a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning with a 5-5 situation. However, after the end of the fifth inning, heavy rain began to fall like a lie, and the home run became the winning home run. Because the game ended in a rain cold.

Noh Si-hwan, who was on the rise, led his team's nine consecutive wins by hitting the first two-run final hit in the first inning against KT on the 20th. It was a multi-base hit with one hit and one walk in three consecutive games. The batting average, which had not risen that much, also rose to 234. Of course, he is third from last among hitters who have completed the regular at-bat. He is tied for second in the league with 11 double plays. However, the number of homers increased to 18 and RBIs to 62.

Noh Si-hwan `After the first half, I took a good rest at home. It was a disappointing result. I forgot everything and worked on it with the idea of starting the second half again" he said. At the same time, "When I hit the first pitch double play in the second half of the season, I thought "Was the second half also bad?" But there's a next at-bat' I thought about it and put my mind together," he added.




However, as head coach Kim said, the batting average was low, but other figures were good. With the current performance, 30 home runs and 100 RBIs at the end of the season are also possible. It is a number that can be evaluated as a central hitter that went beyond the basics and did his job.

Noh Si-hwan said, `But I'm so sorry for the batting average. I felt comfortable because the manager told me not to care, but I'm a baseball player. I couldn't help but see the batting average on the electronic display, and it was annoying. I'm trying to forget for now."

Noh Si-hwan continued, `If I do well in the second half, I think I can do 30 home runs and 100 RBIs. I was worried that I didn't help the team much in the first half, but I will do well in the second half so that I can make 30 home runs and 100 RBIs," he said proudly.




Finally, Noh Si-hwan said of Hanwha's scary run, `I keep following my luck, and there are games where the opponent makes a mistake and wins, and I feel good about it. Hanwha's momentum is good. I hope this momentum continues into the fall baseball" he said.
