I can't believe he's 41 years old. SSG Landers Noh Kyung-eun confirmed the `Hold King' for the second consecutive year even in this situation.

Noh Kyung-eun took the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning with his team leading 4-3 in the game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 30th and recorded one hit, one strikeout and no run in one inning.

Noh Kyung-eun, who grabbed her 35th hold of the season, also beat Kim Jin-sung (LG) in the hold competition. Roh Kyung-eun confirmed the hold king for the second consecutive year, regardless of the remaining results, as Kim Jin-sung, who has 33 holds, has only one opportunity to take the mound.




Last year, he reached the first 'Hold King' with 38 holds, and broke the KBO record of the oldest hold king once again.

Noh Kyung-eun "I really didn't have any greed for the hold king. I tried to leave it to the will of heaven. The batters made the situation well, so they were able to win the hold. I'm more grateful to my colleagues because I can't say I'm good alone. I was able to rise to the Hold King thanks to everyone's helpI would like to thank not only the coach Lee Sung-yong for his good management throughout the season, but also the coaching staff and the training part"Thank you.

Noh Kyung-eun recorded a one-inning scoreless hold against Lotte in Incheon on the 29th, followed by a hold against Kiwoom the next day, taking the 34th and 35th. But actually, there was a hidden behind the scenes.

Noh Kyung-eun confessed on the 29th that his wife was transferred to the emergency room to 119. He said 'Yesterday, my wife suddenly went to the emergency room and needed two days of treatment and examination. The manager was considerate of his wife's side because his family came before the game, but he said, `We should not miss this important time,' and told her to go to the ballpark and wait to play.'

A situation where I couldn't be relieved about my wife's worries. Noh Kyung-eun couldn't keep up with his wife's strong power to go to the baseball stadium, so he decided to go to work late with the consideration of the club.

On the 29th, he arrived at Incheon Stadium an hour before the start of the game, and on the 30th, he arrived at Gocheok during the third inning, after the game began. It is amazing that he has pitched perfectly for two consecutive days even in a chaotic situation.




Noh Kyung-eun thanked the club and the manager for their consideration for respecting the family"I bow down and thank you, "It's meaningful that I can also contribute to achieving third place until the end. Fortunately, my wife improved, and I think I was able to rank third because of this good culture" he said.

He has risen to the throne of Hold, but he will only feel the joy until today. Starting tomorrow, I want to forget about the title for a while and enjoy the fall for a long time in preparation for the semi-playoff"I'm determined.
