Noh Si-hwan, the central hitter of Hanwha, suddenly fell into a slump. It is a no-hit streak in 31 at-bats.
Noh Si-hwan started as a third baseman in the match against LG at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th. Manager Choi Won-ho, who mentioned the ‘strong second hitter’ the previous day and said that he would mainly place Noh Si-hwan and Chae Eun-seong at number 2, said, “Noh Si-hwan was not good in the second batting order, so I left Lee Jin-young at number 2 and lowered one by one.”
Before the game,메이저사이트 Noh Si-hwan was silent with no hits in 22 consecutive at-bats in 25 at-bats. Noh Si-hwan played from 2 to 3, Chae Eun-seong from 3 to 4, and Kim In-hwan from 4 to 5.
Noh Si-hwan withdrew from 1 out 2 base in the 1st inning with a ground ball out by the 1st baseman. He pushed Plutko’s 144km fastball from 2nd out and 1st base in the 3rd inning, but it was caught in front of the right fence. In the 5th inning, he pushed Plutko’s fastball (143km) again, but it was caught on the warning track right in front of the right fence. He flew a little farther than the batted ball in the third inning, but it was still short of a home run.
Noh Si-hwan calmly picked 4 balls from 2 strikes against Park Myung-geun in the 7th inning with 2 outs 1st and 2nd base and went on base with a walk. He didn’t get a hit, but he connected the next batter with a chance to slam. Chae Eun-seong failed to save the chance with a foul fly by the first baseman with the second baseman loaded.
In the 10th inning of extension, Roh Si-hwan struck out on a 142km fastball against Deok-joo Ham, and after two outs in the 12th inning of extension, he was out with a fly ball to center fielder. On this day, 5 at-bats, no hits, 1 walk.
Noh Si-hwan, who recorded 2 hits in 5 at bats against Incheon SSG on the 13th, continued to be silent for 6 consecutive games. He has been in a no-hit slump in 27 consecutive at-bats in 31 at-bats. It is similar to the recent case of Kim Hyun-soo of LG, who suffered no hits in 34 at-bats in a row. Roh Si-hwan’s season batting average dropped from 3.59 to 3.1.
Noh Si-hwan leads the Hanwha batting line with Chae Eun-seong at the beginning of the season. He is one of the best performing players in the league. It is unreasonable for Chae Eun-seong to lead the Hanwha batting line alone while Roh Si-hwan remains silent. O’Grady, a foreign batter, went down to the second team again on the 20th with an unchanged batting average of 10%. Roh Si-hwan needs to come back quickly.
31 hits in a row continued, but the quality of Noh Si-hwan’s batted ball improved little by little. Commentator Yoo Ji-hyun, who relayed the game that day, commented, “His center of gravity seems to be out of the back of his hips.” After that, when he hit a big ball that was caught in front of the right fence twice, he said, “Today’s appearance is much better than yesterday’s game.”
Commentator Kim Tae-gyun, who commented on Noh Si-hwan’s batting form at the beginning of the game, saying, “The left wall collapsed,” said, “Because the left wall is maintained, the batted ball flies to the fence.”
