Noh Si-hwan, Following "Role Model" Kim Tae-gyun, Hits 30 Home Runs at Age 22 for the First Time in 20 Years
‘Young slugger’ Noh Si-hwan (22, Hanwha Eagles) is on the verge of achieving the record of ‘30 home runs under the age of 22’ 20 years after his ‘role model’ Kim Tae-gyun (41), KBSN Sports commentator.
As games were canceled due to rain, Noh Si-hwan was unable to add a home run for more than 10 days after hitting his 29th of the season against KT Wiz on August 19.
The moment he starts hitting home runs again, Noh Si-hwan will become the first batter in 20 years to hit 30 home runs in a single season under the age of 22, following Kim Tae-gyun, who hit 31 home runs at the age of 21 while wearing a Hanwha uniform in 2003.
‘30 home runs under the age of 22’ is a precious record not only for Hanwha, but also for the entire KBO league.
Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop, born in August 1976, hit 32 home runs in 1997 when he was 21 years old, and 38 home runs in 1999 when he was 22 years old.
Commissioner Kim Tae-gyun, born in May 1982, hit 31 home runs in 2003, becoming the second 21-year-old to hit 30 home runs after manager Lee Seung-yeop.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop and member Kim Tae-gyun are the only two batters who have hit more than 30 home runs at the age of 22.
Even if you expand your horizons to 23 years old, the number does not increase significantly. casinosite.one
Hangzhou Asian Games baseball team coach Jong-hoon Jang (35 home runs in 1991), KT 2nd team coach Ki-tae Kim (31 home runs in 1992), and commentator Jae-hong Park (30 home runs in 1996) hit more than 30 home runs at the age of 23.
Dae-ho Lee achieved more than 30 home runs for the first time (44 home runs in 2010) at the age of 28, Byeong-ho Park (KT) was 26 years old (31 home runs in 2012), and Jeong Choi (SSG Landers) was 29 years old (40 home runs in 2016). He hit 30 home runs for the first time.
Noh Si-hwan, born in December 2000, will finish this season at the age of 22 based on the "Multiple Age Uniform Act" (Basic Administrative Act and Partial Amendment to Civil Act) implemented this year.
If he adds one home run, he will set a "record of 30 home runs at the age of 22", which even the senior sluggers representing the KBO League have not been able to achieve.
He also enjoys the honor of being listed alongside the legendary home run king Lee Seung-yeop and Kim Tae-gyun, whom he considered his role model.
