“Sihwan said he doesn’t like designated hitters… ” The reason for refusing the head’s consideration, it was shown as a highlight of Hohobi

Sihwan didn’t want to go out as a designated hitter.”

The 8th game of the season between the Hanwha Eagles and the Samsung Lions in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park on the 4th.

Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho, who we met ahead of the game that day, said, “It would be nice for Si-hwan to rest as a designated hitter, but he doesn’t really like playing as a designated hitter. He kept asking if he didn’t like it, so he said, ‘If you’re really tired, talk about it.’”스포츠토토

Noh Si-hwan is the central batter of Hanwha. He played 50 games before the 4th game, and he has a batting average of .294 with 57 hits, 9 homers, 30 RBIs and 30 runs scored. In a situation where the team power is not strong, it is necessary to save the stamina of Noh Si-hwan, Chae Eun-seong, and Kim In-hwan. That’s why director Choi Won-ho also tried to give Roh Si-hwan a break.

Of course, he’s not bad at defense. He has 9 errors on defense as well, but there are times when he shows a lot of flawless defense. Noh Si-hwan, who dreams of advancing to the United States, previously said, “You have to be good at defense. If he’s only going to go with the bat, he has to hit really well. He needs to be grounded in defense. So I also think defense is important. When he practices, he focuses on defense rather than bat,” he said, emphasizing the importance of defense.

On this day, Noh Si-hwan’s defense was neat. He could see the reason why he so ardently refused the chief’s request.

At the end of the second inning, he neatly caught Kim Jae-sung’s assault ball and threw it to first base. He lightened the shoulders of starter Ricardo Sanchez.

This wasn’t the end. He gave up 2 runs in the 3rd inning and had a crisis situation with runners on 1st and 2nd base in 2nd out. He caught Kang Min-ho’s slow ball and threw it to first base. In the 4th inning, Lee Jae-hyeon’s difficult short bound hit was neatly handled.

Even in the second half of the game, Noh Si-hwan’s defense continued. In the 6th inning, with runners 1st and 2nd, Kim Dong-yeop caught a ball and treated it as a double stroke, and Kim Dong-yeop’s assault ball, which came out with 1 out in the 8th inning, was no problem.

Noh Si-hwan contributed to the team’s 10-5 victory by recording 1 hit, 1 RBI and 1 run in 3 at-bats as the 5th hitter as well as defense. Hanwha succeeded in escaping from two consecutive losses.

The reason for refusing the chief’s request was shown as a highlight of Hosobi. Two days in a row, a crowd of 10,000 people came to Hanwha Life Eagles Park. 12,000 fans enjoyed Roh Si-hwan’s defense.
