The 41-year-old pitcher Noh Kyung said, "What's your secret to rejuvenating at SSG?"

Noh Kyung-eun (41) rejuvenated in SSG uniform. She won 10 games for two consecutive years as a member of the Doosan Bears between 2012 and 2013, but she became a "free agent" amid a long slump. 

Since joining SSG in 2022, Noh has recorded 29 wins, 15 losses and 73 holds with an ERA of 3.18 in the last three seasons. His performance is getting better as he grows older. Moreover, he does not dampen his pitching by using Incheon SSG Landers Field (a distance of 95 meters from home plate to left and right fence) as his home ground, which is disadvantageous to the pitcher.온라인바카라

As a result, he signed a free agent contract last winter for a total of 2.5 billion won (two plus one year). The amount is more than double the free agent contract (a total of 1.1 billion won for two years) he signed with the Lotte Giants five years ago in his mid-30s.


Noh Kyung-eun cited increased physical stamina and sauna as her secret to rejuvenation. "I increased my weight training from two to three times a week in the second half of last year to keep my stamina up. I was able to maintain my lower body strength as well as my physical strength," she said. 

He has been doing weight training three times a week since the opening of the season. He will not feel strange even if he retires right now. When asked if he is tired, he said, "If you rest and sleep well when you are having a hard time, you will feel heavier. In that case, it is best to relax by exercising." 

At the first spring camp in Florida last month, SSG pitching coach Kyung Heon-ho said, "Kyung-eun, the oldest (Roh) is in the best pace and condition among pitchers. I can say that she has built her body the best."

Noh said, "Thanks to the management of SSG training parts, I take really good care of my body." He also said, "It's great to have a sauna before and after games." Incheon's home locker room is equipped with a hot tub, a cold tub, and even a sauna. "I warm up my body before exercising and do stretching in the hot tub. I recover from the cold tub after the game. That's why I leave work later than other players."

Noh Kyung-eun tends to make experimental attempts to maintain her physical condition. She once became a "lactobobo vegetarian" who doesn't eat meat but only eats eggs. She is so into saunas these days. 

Noh is aiming to become the first KBO league player to achieve 30 holds for three consecutive years. "My goal for this season is to do it for a long time without injury. I don't usually set specific goals. I want to set 20 holds (for three consecutive years) and challenge myself to break the record of 30 holds (for three consecutive years). Please keep an eye on me."
