The Unexpected Abilities of Hanshin’s Sheldon Noisey: Leading the League in Assists

Noisy Leads Both Leagues with 12 Assists

Hanshin’s unexpected star, Sheldon Noisy, has been making waves in the Japan Series with his impressive skills. As a newcomer to the team this season, he has solidified his position as the regular left fielder and played a key role in helping the team secure their first league win in 18 years. While his batting performance with a .240 average, nine home runs, and an OPS of .623 in 133 games may not have been outstanding, his defensive prowess has been unmatched.

What sets Noisy apart from other players is his remarkable tally of 12 assists, which is the highest in both leagues by a significant margin. No other player has managed to reach double digits in assists, highlighting Noisy’s exceptional ability to make crucial throws in pivotal moments of the game.

A Player with Adaptability and Versatility

Noisy’s journey to the major leagues has been a testament to his adaptability and versatility. After being drafted by the Rangers in 2013, he declined to sign a contract and later found himself selected in the second round of the 2016 draft after completing his college education. Since then, he has made appearances with teams like the Athletics and the Dodgers, displaying his ability to excel in different positions.

Despite primarily being a third and second baseman, Noisy has shown his flexibility by stepping into the outfield arena with only five games of experience. His quick adjustment to the position further demonstrates his dexterity and natural talent for the game.

A Defensive Weapon with Surprising Throws

An intriguing aspect of Noisy’s game lies in his ability to stun opponents with unexpected throws. He possesses a keen eye for observing the runner’s movements, allowing him to execute precise and surprising throws. Whether it’s catching a slow ball and effortlessly sending it to third base without attempting to tag the runner or swiftly transferring a cushioned ball with his bare hands to make a play, Noisy’s defensive capabilities are second to none.

Noisy’s vigilance and agility make him a dangerous player who can easily catch opponents off guard. Even the slightest lapse in concentration could result in an out, highlighting the importance of remaining alert when facing him on the field.

As the Japan Series unfolds, it will be fascinating to see if Noisy will have the opportunity to showcase his skills as a substitute. With his exceptional performance this season, he has undoubtedly earned the attention and admiration of baseball enthusiasts around the country.
