A two-run shot with a 4-0 run. Noh Si-hwan achieved his second 30th home run in his life.

Noh Si-hwan smiled proudly in front of Son Ah-seop, a senior who made a hit.

Hanwha Eagles' No. 4 hitter Noh Si-hwan led the team's victory with a valuable two-run shot in the game against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 16th.




Noh hit KIA Kim Si-hoon's 141km fastball in his third at-bat with two outs and a runner on first base in the top of the fifth inning with a 2-0 lead, and hit a 125m long-distance home run over the center fence.

As a result, Noh Si-hwan reached the 30th home run mark for the second time in his career after 31 home runs in 2023.

Roh Si-hwan, who achieved his second 30 home runs in his life, is celebrating as he steps home.
Noh Si-hwan, who slowed down a bit with 24 home runs last year, was criticized by fans by staying with 17 home runs in 87 games in the first half of this year.




However, No. 4 hitter Noh Si-hwan survived with the unwavering trust of head coach Kim Kyung-moon. In the second half of the year, he hit 13 home runs in 47 games, rising to 30 home runs again in two years.

Noh Si-hwan is the only Korean player who hit 30 home runs this season. It is the fourth record after Samsung Diaz (46 home runs), KIA Wisdom (32 home runs) and NC Davidson (31 home runs).

Recently, Noh Si-hwan has been continuing a 'hit bet' with Son Ah-seop. As it is a match against Son Ah-seop, who holds the record for the most hits in KBO career, he decided to count the home run as two hits.




However, in a video released on the club's YouTube channel, when Noh Si-hwan hit a home run, Son Ah-seop called "There is no nutrition." This means that a home run from a big score gap is difficult to admit with two hits. In the end, the two agreed to count a home run when the difference is five points or more as one hit.

'This home run is irrefutable, right?'
So what's the current betting situation like.

Noh has had 14 hits in his last 10 games, five of which are home runs. The batting average is also high at 0.368.

On the other hand, Son Ah-seop has 13 hits and a batting average of 0.342 in 10 recent games. Noh Si-hwan is ahead in terms of the number of pure hits excluding the home run weight.

Son Ah-seop, who did not compete on this day. The two's 'hit bet' is accelerating Hanwha's last-minute rise.

Son Ah-seop, who was pretending to ignore Noh Si-hwan, is finally bursting into laughter.
Noh Si-hwan has been revived since July 31 when Son Ah-seop moved to Hanwha. Son Ah-seop, who is from Busan, is known to always take Noh Si-hwan to the sauna and take care of him like his own brother.

Veteran Son Ah-seop's presence is a great help to Noh Si-hwan, who has the heavy responsibility of being the team's No. 4 hitter at the young age of 25.
