An incredible 5 consecutive home runs. Noh Si-hwan (26, Hanwha Eagles) has once again lit up his bat.

On the 27th, Noh Si-hwan started at third base and batted fifth in the Hanwha Eagles vs. 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League home game held at Incheon SSG Landers Field. In the bottom of the 7th inning, he hit a solo home run against Park Si-hoo.

This marks 5 consecutive home runs starting from the home game against the Doosan Bears on the 23rd. It is the 17th time in KBO history and the first time for a Hanwha player. This is his 15th home run of the season.

Earlier, Noh Si-hwan had gone hitless in 3 at-bats, but after the 5th inning, he surprisingly made an impact. Coincidentally, the effect appeared immediately after the special report during the game.

In the game against Doosan on the 23rd, after hitting a home run early in the game, Noh Si-hwan struck out in the 5th inning. He then went to batting practice in the 5th inning. And on that day, he hit his first career walk-off hit.

Meeting reporters after the game on the 26th, Noh Si-hwan explained, "At first, I was too frustrated. I thought I had to get a feel for things during the game, so I decided to go to the cage in the 5th inning and swing the bat. But there was senior player Choi Jae-hoon there, and I hit with his bat, and that day I hit the walk-off hit. That's why I've been continuing it ever since."

He continued this routine in the games against Doosan on the 24th and 25th, and against SSG on the 26th. He hit home runs after the 5th inning in all three games.

The same happened today. Noh Si-hwan ended the 1st and 4th innings with infield grounders, but in the 5th inning, he hit a well-struck ball that was caught by the center fielder.

After the 5th inning, Noh Si-hwan was different. With the team leading 7-0, in the bottom of the 7th with one out and no runners on base, the pitch count was 1-1 against Park Si-hoo. A 143 km/h two-seam fastball moved toward the center of the plate, and Noh Si-hwan did not miss it. The ball struck by Noh Si-hwan's bat soared well over the left-center field wall. A 115-meter home run.

Noh Si-hwan's pleasant streak has continued for an incredible 5 consecutive games.
