Oh Seung-hwan is back.
The Samsung Lions registered Oh Seung-hwan on the 26th, excluding Yang Hyun from the first-team entry.
Usually, he cancels his entry on Mondays and registers with the first team on Tuesdays, but Oh registered on Mondays. Since his registration is already scheduled, there was no reason to delay it by one day.
He is in the top tier, but has not immediately returned to the closing lineup. Samsung manager Park Jin-man already announced his intention to move to Kim Jae-yoon for the time being, foreshadowing Oh’s call-up to the top tier team. Oh is expected to take the role of setup man ahead of Kim Jae-yoon.
I wonder when Oh Seung-hwan will go back to the finish line. This is because the title of the save king is at stake. KIA Tigers’ Jung Hae-young has already followed right down the stairs.
Oh Seung-hwan made saves against KIA on the 11th and was running the first place with 27 saves. At that time, Jung Hae-young was in second place with 21 saves and LG Yoo Young-chan was in third place with 20 saves. On the 15th, Oh Seung-hwan’s last day in the first division, Jung Hae-young remained in second place with 22 saves. The gap with Oh Seung-hwan was five. Jung Hae-young made a save march for 10 days when Oh Seung-hwan went down to the second division, adding four more. 먹튀검증
Oh took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning with one hit and no run in the game against the LG Twins on Saturday when his team went down to the second division, and managed to secure a three-to-two and one-run save in the game against the Lotte Giants in Gwangju on Sunday and Sunday. Oh took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning when his team led 2-0 against the Changwon NC Dinosaurs on Sunday, and allowed one hit and no run, marking his 26th save of the season, and approaching Oh by one difference.
Oh Seung-hwan’s seventh attempt to become the save king in history was not easy due to the fierce pursuit of Jung Hae-young, who is trying to become the first save king.
Oh is said to have elevated his speed to 147 kilometers in the second division. He needs to confirm his improved speed and pitching in the first division to prove that he can return to the finish line.
Oh got off to a good start with one win, two losses, eight saves and an ERA of 1.80 in March and April, and maintained stability with eight saves and an ERA of 2.25 in 11 games in May. He showed signs of instability with two losses and eight saves and an ERA of 3.86 in 10 games in June, before slumping with one win and two losses and two saves and an ERA of 12.15 in nine games in July. He still showed poor performance in August, as he recorded an ERA of 12.00 by allowing one loss and one save in four games and six hits (two home runs) in three innings.
Eventually, he had time to adjust in the second division, and fortunately, he was able to return to the first division in 10 days by showing good performance.
Will he be able to secure his seventh title as the “save king” with 30 saves for the first time in four consecutive years? Oh’s tough challenge begins again.
