Noh Si-hwan (25) of Hanwha Eagles started the 2025 season with high expectations. He also expressed confidence that both individuals and his team would show better performance than last year. Was this the mindset that held Noh back? The Hanwha Eagles' No. 4 hitter suffered a severe slump in the early days of the season, and the Hanwha Eagles fell to the bottom of the league on last Thursday. At that time, Noh had a batting average of only 0.158.먹튀검증
Noh Si-hwan met with reporters at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 22nd and said, "I started the season with expectations, but it didn't go as I thought," adding, "I felt that baseball didn't just have a heart."
After joining Hanwha in 2019, Noh became the home run champion for the first time since his debut in the 2023 season with a batting average of 0.298, 31 homers and 101 RBIs in 131 games. Last year, however, he saw his batting performance drop, not only with 24 homers. This year, when he pledged to rebound, he was mired in a slump with the start of the season. "I think trying to play in a comfortable way helped me improve myself," Noh said, letting go of his greed that made him feel heavy.
Noh Si-hwan, who slowly recovered his batting sense and awakened his big guns instinct, hit .266 with eight home runs, 20 RBIs and an OPS of .917 in 25 games until the 22nd. In the match against Incheon SSG on the 16th, he hit two home runs and swept five RBIs. "Just as there is a saying that strength comes from softness, baseball is late when you try to swing with all your might," he said. "It's hard because I get greedy when I go into the batter's box, but I try to relax and swing as concisely as possible."
Noh Si-hwan hit his 8th home run this season and 100th career home run in the KBO League against NC in Daejeon on the 20th. "I'm proud that I hit 100 home runs at a young age," he said, but "I didn't pay much attention to the record because I have to look at the 200th and 300th in the future."
Hanwha, which fell to the bottom, rose to the top at once as the hitting sense of main hitters such as Esteban Floral and Chae Eun-sung, who were sluggish together, revived. Noh Si-hwan thanked the pitching staff for holding out until the lineup was on track, saying, "It was very helpful to build up wins thanks to the pitchers' good pitching even though they lost consecutive games in the beginning."
Hanwha, which failed to play autumn baseball after 2018, is trying to advance to the postseason for the first time in seven years this season. Noh said, "I'm not going to be happy and sad. This is the beginning. When I have good performance, sometimes I have bad performance. Summer is the season when my physical strength declines. The season is long and it's still early days. I will cherish every single game."
