**“I learned baseball” Chae Eun-seong’s routine that made Noh Si-hwan the home run king**…


The explosion of potential of Hanwha Noh Si-hwan (24), who became the KBO League home run king last year, cannot be explained without mentioning Chae Eun-seong (34). Last year, during spring camp in Arizona, USA, Chae Eun-seong said, “You need a partner to lift weights well. After pairing up and saying, “Let’s do this with me,” the two players repeated the same routine throughout the season. 

We prepared for the game by doing weight training every two days, regardless of whether it was home or away. For home games, he went to work early at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon at 11:30 a.m., and on away trips, he maintained his strength and stamina by stretching and lifting weights at his lodgings before lunch. In particular, Noh Si-hwan did not lose strength until the end of the season. 

Noh Si-hwan, who started all 131 games excluding the period of participation in the Asian Games, said, “It is meaningful that I played the full season without any pain. “It was good to be able to show that he is a player who is healthy and takes good care of himself,” he said. “It was effective to lift weights according to senior Chae Eun-seong.” He barely gained any weight. He reflected, “During the season, you need to eat as much energy as you put in, but maybe because you continued to lift weights, you didn’t gain much weight.” 

As a result, he had a career-high season with a batting average of .298 (153 hits in 514 at-bats), 31 home runs, 101 RBI, 74 walks, 118 strikeouts, an on-base percentage of .388, a slugging percentage of .541, and an OPS of .929. Noh Si-hwan, who ranked first in home runs and RBIs and second in slugging percentage and OPS, also received the Golden Glove Award in the third baseman category and became a top-class player in the league. Noh Si-hwan, who never left out the story of Chae Eun-seong during the post-season awards ceremony, said, “I learned baseball from Eun-seong. He expressed his gratitude again, saying, “I received a lot of help from talking to him about how to overcome things when things aren’t going well and even talking about batting technique issues.” 

In response, Chae Eun-seong waved his hand. He said, “Si-hwan is a good baseball player from the beginning. He is a talented player, and he prepared well and worked hard before the season as he thought, and the results came out. “He seemed confident in his own preparation (from not changing his form when things were not going well),” he said. “I didn’t do anything for him.” “The only thing he did was buy me something delicious when I was having a hard time.” 

Chae Eun-seong also performed well in his first year as a free agent, with a batting average of .263 in 137 games (137 hits in 521 at-bats), 23 home runs, 84 RBI, 52 walks, 102 strikeouts, an on-base percentage of .351, a slugging percentage of .428, and an OPS of .779. Although his pace slowed down due to a hamstring injury in the mid-to-late season, he maintained his main batting line without resting. Due to the team's weak strength, there was a sense of responsibility that he should not be absent, and coach Choi Won-ho, who noticed this, appointed him as captain for the new season. 

As captain, he also prepares for the season quickly. On the 23rd, along with Noh Si-hwan, infielder Ha Joo-seok, and pitchers Joo Hyun-sang and Han Seung-ju, the team went to Melbourne, Australia, where spring camp was set up, as a starting group. We will move a week ahead of the camp start date of February 1st to adapt to the local environment in advance. Even during his time at his former team LG, Chae Eun-seong was always one of the first members of the advance team to enter the camp. Noh Si-hwan also moves with Chae Eun-seong and continues the same routine.

Hanwha was highly dependent on Noh Si-hwan and Chae Eun-seong, who batted 3rd and 4th last year. On days when one of the two players was blocked, the attack did not go away. The productivity of the remaining batters decreased, and the range of ups and downs was large. However, the signing of Ahn Chi-hong, a proven middle- and long-distance hitter in the free agent market, and the addition of Jonathan Peraza, a new foreign hitter with strengths in hitting, are expected to ease the burden on the 'Roh Chae duo'. Once they are freed from the intensive checks to some extent, it is expected that the performance of both players will improve.
