Oh Seung-hwan, Oldest Save in Sight… New Record Achieved Starting from Lotte Game on the 19th
The record for the oldest save in the KBO League has begun for 'ageless final boss' Seung-hwan Oh (41, Samsung Lions).
If Seung-hwan Oh gets a save in the away game against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 18th, he will tie the oldest save record, and if he gets a save in the home game against the Lotte Giants at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 19th, he will set a new record for the oldest save.
The oldest save record in KBO League history is 42 years and 3 days, set by Lim Chang-yong (retired) on June 7, 2018 while playing for KIA, and Oh Seung-hwan, born on July 15, 1982, is close to breaking the record. https://bit.ly/outlookindiatoto Oh Seung-hwan already holds numerous 'oldest records'.
In 2021, he won the oldest 40 saves in a single season and the oldest save king title, and on the 6th, he set the oldest All-Star game appearance record (41 years, 11 months, 21 days).
Oh Seung-hwan is still guarding Samsung's back door firmly even this year, when he is past his 40s.
He appeared in 37 games in the first half of the season, recording 1 win, 5 losses, 24 saves, and an ERA of 3.79.
He is first in saves, with a 3-save gap from second-place Jeong Hae-young (KIA, 21 saves).
If he continues his current trend, he can once again break his title as the oldest save king.
However, Seung-hwan Oh showed a somewhat tired appearance, recording an average ERA of 8.18 after posting a special performance of 2.00 ERA until May.
Expectations are high for what Seung-hwan Oh will show in the second half of the season, having had a sufficient rest for about a week since the KIA game on the 4th.
Oh Seung-hwan is also secretly aiming for the oldest KBO League appearance record.
The oldest KBO League appearance record is 43 years, 7 months, and 7 days, set by former coach Song Jin-woo in 2009.
