Oh Seung-hwan i Want to Play Until They Call Me
Oldest All-Star Player' Oh Seung-hwan: "I Want to Play Until They Call Me"
Disappointing performance at the end of the first half… Will regain confidence by participating in the All-Star Game
Samsung players express regret over complete change of coaching staff
Oh Seung-hwan, the 'finishing king' who guards the back door of the Samsung Lions even though he is well into his 40s, expressed his gratitude, saying, "It is an honor" ahead of becoming the oldest player to participate in the professional baseball All-Star Game.
Oh met with reporters ahead of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO All-Star Game to be held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 6th and said, "I lost in the fan vote, but I received a lot of votes in the player vote and was selected as an All-Star," adding, "That's why this year's All-Star Game is a bit more meaningful than previous years."
He continued, "I showed a disappointing performance at the end of the first half, but I will find confidence by participating in the All-Star Game," and pledged, "I will regroup in the second half and show a good performance." 안전 슬롯사이트
Regarding the record for being the oldest player to participate in the All-Star Game, Oh Seung-hwan said, "I am just grateful," and "I want to continue participating until the fans call me."
As of today, Oh Seung-hwan's age is 41 years, 11 months, and 21 days, and if he participates in the All-Star Game, he will become the oldest participant in the KBO League All-Star Game, including both pitchers and batters.
The oldest player to play in an All-Star game was Yang Jun-hyeok (then Samsung), who played in the 2010 All-Star Game at the age of 41 years, 1 month, and 28 days.
Oh Seung-hwan is also challenging the oldest All-Star Game save record (35 years, 2 months, and 16 days), set by Gye Hyeong-cheol (then OB Bears) in 1988.
Oh Seung-hwan, who is about to set a record, smiled throughout the interview and enjoyed the festive atmosphere.
However, he did not hide his complicated feelings when asked about the recent decline in pace and the reorganization of the team's coaching staff.
Oh Seung-hwan had been on a roll with an average ERA of 2.00 until May, but has been in a slump since June with an ERA of 8.18.
In particular, Samsung Lions suffered five consecutive losses in the first half of the season, and collapsed in three of those games when Oh Seung-hwan failed to secure the win.
Samsung carried out a large-scale coaching staff reshuffle on the 5th, sending pitching coach Jeong Min-tae to the minor leagues due to the aftermath of the losing streak and appointing minor league manager Jeong Dae-hyun as head coach and pitching coach.
Oh Seung-hwan said, "There must be many people who are worried (because of the recent slump)," and "There's nothing we can do about the past games.
I had time to gather my thoughts after the last game (of the first half), and I will try not to worry you."
Regarding coach Jeong Dae-hyun's appointment, he said, "Coach Jeong and I have been close since my days as players, and we have talked a lot," and "However, it is different from when we were colleagues.
I will focus only on my role."
Oh Seung-hwan has been cautious due to the recent team atmosphere.
He said, "In fact, I prepared a stone-colored ball inspired by my main weapon, the fastball, but I am still thinking about whether or not to use it."
Most of the other Samsung players participating in the All-Star Game that day also regretted the change in the team's coaching staff.
Homegrown ace Won Tae-in said, "I saw the news about the coaches' change through an article," and "Coach Jeong Min-tae, in particular, helped me a lot since spring camp, so I'm very disappointed."
He continued, "It seems like it was a decision to refresh the team atmosphere, but I think I should do well with Coach Jeong Dae-hyun again."
Samsung captain Koo Ja-wook said, "I contacted Coach Lee Byeong-gyu who was promoted from first-team head coach to second-team manager yesterday," and "He apologized to me.
I received a lot of help, so I feel sorry and regretful."
