SSG Landers veteran bullpen Noh Kyung-eun (39) said, "It's not hard. I will help the team win no matter what," he said.
The 11th game of the season between SSG and NC, which was scheduled to be held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 10th, was canceled due to the effects of Typhoon Kanun. After the KBO announced that the game was canceled, the players packed their bags and prepared to go home.
There are quite a few players who didn't go home right away. In particular, veteran players such as Choo Shin-soo, Kim Kang-min, Ko Hyo-joon, and Noh Kyung-eun went home to strengthen their bodies with weight training.
"Over the course of a season, a team can go on a good run or a bad run," said Noh Kyung-eun, who we caught up with briefly before heading home. I want to be a pitcher who always finishes with the least amount of runs on the mound at any given moment. If the pitchers, including me, hold up well, I think we will eventually be able to ride the wave and achieve good results," she said.
Recently, SSG has struggled. They're still in second place, but they're losing ground in the chase for first place LG Twins. That's because of a two-hitter. The team has struggled in August, going 3-5 in eight games.
However, there are some players who have been able to hang in there until the team gets into a good groove. One of them is Kyung-eun Noh. Noh has kept a clean sheet in her last five matches. It's no exaggeration to say that SSG has been able to stay in the race this season thanks to their closer Seo Jin-yong and veteran bullpen Noh Kyung-eun and Ko Hyo-joon.
With so many one- or two-run games, there are concerns about overloading the bullpen, but they've held up well. Noh Kyung-eun said, "There's no particular trigger, and I've been training and preparing for the game the same as I did in the first half. There's nothing physically difficult. I want to be a player who can help the team win in any situation, whether they are winning or losing, if that's what the team wants."
Once the typhoon passes and the rain stops, we'll have to deal with the heat again. This is the only way they can play baseball for a long time until the end of the fall.
"I think this is the most important time," said Noh. Our bullpen did a good job in the first half. If we don't forget this and work hard to manage our physical condition, such as training, eating, and resting, I think we will be able to produce the same performance as in the first half."
SSG's bullpen has a 3.40 ERA, which ranks third in the division. In the first half of the season, they were the best. However, she seems to have lost her strength and is finding her footing again. Noh Kyung-eun, who struggled in June and July, has come back to life and the bullpen is becoming solid again. 토토사이트
