he unheard-of '522 saves in Korea, the U.S., and Japan' final leader announces dedication to the 2024 season

 Seunghwan Oh won the Record of the Year Award at the '2023 Professional Baseball Sports Seoul Award of the Year' held on the 30th of last month. Even at the age of 41 this year, he recorded 58 games (62⅔ innings), 4 wins, 5 losses, 2 holds, 30 saves, and an ERA of 3.45. In the game against SSG on October 14, he recorded 1⅓ innings, 2 walks, and a scoreless save, reaching 400 saves in the KBO League. Achieved a great record.

After graduating from Gyeonggi High School and Dankook University, he began his professional career wearing a Samsung uniform in 2005. In his third year of joining the team in 2007, he achieved the fewest games and shortest season with 100 saves, and simultaneously broke the records for the fewest games and youngest player in 2009 and 2011. They completed 150 and 200 saves, respectively. In particular, the 200 saves achieved in 334 games was a new world record for the fewest games.

Oh Seung-hwan achieved all 250, 300, 350, and 400 saves for the first time in the KBO League, setting a record in the save category that no one can match. From 2014 to 2019, despite being away from the KBO league for a whopping six years due to overseas expansion, he piled up saves at an incredible rate. Last June, he set a record of 500 saves in Korea, the United States, and Japan, and on October 14th, he reached the long-awaited 400 save mark in the final home game against SSG. 

On October 22nd, Samsung signed a four-year contract with Kim Jae-yoon, a closing pitcher who appeared in the free agent market, for a total of 5.8 billion won. Kim Jae-yoon is a special closing pitcher who has achieved 30 saves for three consecutive years. With Kim Jae-yoon's arrival, interest is also focused on whether 'final leader' Oh Seung-hwan will be able to take on the role of closing pitcher. 

Seung-hwan Oh said, “It will definitely help the team because a good closing pitcher named Jae-yoon Kim has arrived. With the arrival of such a player, the team can become stronger and the bullpen can become stronger. Our team's biggest problem has always been the bullpen. I want to play any role that can help our team win even one more game. I told the same story to the manager. “The position will be determined by the coach, but the goal is for the team to win a lot, no matter how many times or where we go,” he said.

“I feel like I always make lies to Samsung fans,” said Oh Seung-hwan, who bowed his head. “I’ve been doing that for several years now. The team must win more in order to keep its promise to the fans. “I think insisting on appointing a closer is a foolish idea,” he said, emphasizing the team’s victory. 

Seunghwan Oh said, “FA and age don’t really match. Still, I want to have a good conversation with the team. If there was no team called Samsung Lions, there would not have been a player named Oh Seung-hwan. Therefore, it is natural to draw a good picture until the end. But greed still remains in a corner of my heart. So, I want to achieve good results again, and at the end, I really want to show a season that is so good that Samsung can take first place, and I also have to talk about my age,” he said, expressing his determination for next year’s season.

Oh Seung-hwan, the best closing pitcher in the history of the KBO League, expressed his intention to dedicate himself to the team's victory without being concerned about his position despite Samsung's recruitment of a free agent closing pitcher. Despite being qualified as a C-grade free agent with no compensatory players

    The New York Yankees recruited right-hander Marcus Stroman (33).   MLB.com announced on the 12th (Korean time) that “the Yankees signed a two-year contract worth $37 million (about 48.6 billion won) with Stroman.”  It even includes a vesting option that automatically extends the contract if he plays more than 140 innings in 2025, his second season.  When the contract period is three years, the total amount will be $55 million (72.3 billion won). MLB.com noted, “Stroman debuted (in the Major League) with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014 and has been a consistently above-average starting pitcher throughout his career.”  However, considering the fact that he suffered injuries such as inflammation of his right hip last year, he said, “I pitched less than 140 innings for two consecutive seasons,” and added, “In 2022, he missed a month due to inflammation in his right shoulder and missed more than two weeks due to COVID-19.” Nevertheless, MLB.com said, “Stroman ...
