Seunghwan Oh, the ‘final leader’, achieves 400 saves
n the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League SSG Landers game held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th, Oh Seung-hwan took the mound in the top of the 8th inning with 2 outs and 2 bases on second base with his team ahead 4-3, and pitched 1⅓ innings without allowing a run to preserve the 5-3 victory.
With this, Oh Seung-hwan achieved 30 saves (4 wins, 5 losses) for the season and at the same time completed 400 saves (41 wins, 24 losses) in his personal career.
Seunghwan Oh's save numbers in the KBO League are overwhelming. Son Seung-rak, who ranks second in career saves, has 271 saves, and Lim Chang-yong, who ranks third, has 258 saves, but has already retired from active duty.
Woo-Ram Jeong (Hanwha, 197 saves), currently ranked second, has stepped down from the team's finishing position. Go Woo-seok (LG, 139 saves), born in 1998, is considered a strong candidate, but he is still far from catching up with Oh Seung-hwan.
