Noh Si-hwan, Hanwha Eagles' No. 4 hitter, made a stunning return to the lineup on April 23 after a stint in the minors.
In his first game back, he went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, one RBI, and one run scored against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium.
The 26-year-old had been demoted on April 13 after a slow start, batting just .145 in 13 games this season.
"It was such a great day," Noh said after the game, per Chosun. "I was looking for this feeling."
His solo home run in the 7th inning broke a 2-2 tie, leading the Eagles to a 4-2 victory.
Hanwha fans hope this performance marks a turning point for the slugger, who hit 31 homers in 2023.
