Oh Seung-hwan announced the obituary of his late mother Kim Hyung-deok on the morning of the 19th. The mortuary was set up at No. 103 of the funeral hall of Korea University Anam Hospital in Seoul. The cause of the coffin is 7 a.m. on the 21st, and the burial site is Seoul Seunghwawon.
Oh Seung-hwan hurriedly returned home before returning to the team as his mother's condition worsened at the end of the Okinawa camp in Japan.
While taking care of his mother in and out of Seoul, he participated in exhibition games to prepare for the season. At the end of the camp, he hurriedly returned home without being prepared for the actual match due to the unexpected deterioration of his mother's condition, and it was not easy to control his pace due to his mother's worries about his illness.
A model exemplary pitcher who has followed his routine thoroughly and has been active for the longest time. There was a slight rattling while failing to raise his sense of practice in time. This is why he suffered the shaking of allowing three runs against LG on the 13th, the first appearance of the exhibition game, giving up three hits and four pitches in one inning.

Oh Seung-hwan, who made use of his dull senses in his first appearance, quickly stabilized. Two days later, in an away game in Gwangju on the 15th, he announced a rebound with a perfect pitch with no hits and no runs in one inning against KIA's slugging line. He took the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning when he was trailing 1-4, handled all three batters, including Han Jun-su, Seo Geon-chang, and Byun Woo-hyuk, lightly, and finished the inning in just seven pitches.
Oh Seung-hwan's aggressive pitching. He also had a sharp slider and curve with a maximum fastball speed of 144 kilometers.
As soon as he joined Samsung in 2005, he opened the door to win five Korean Series championships by opening the `Dynasties' era, the best closing pitcher in the history of the KBO League. After overcoming the difficulties, he prepared with a firm will to help him win the title once again in 2025, more than a decade later. During the camp, Samsung manager Park Jin-man said, `Oh Seung-hwan's ball power is the best.' Then, I had to return home urgently due to the sad news of my mother's deteriorating condition.

No one can walk away from time. Now, he is no longer a closer, but a member of the bullpen must-win group, and he is determined to put a stepping stone on his team's victory. The meaning is no less than the finishing touch. I know my role well enough.
Already, he has put everything down since last season and is preparing every season with the heart of Baek Ui-jong. Personal figures such as career save records no longer mean much. He has repeatedly stressed that he is not taking it into his own mind. What really matters to him is the meaning of the tears he will shed with the team win.
Oh Seung-hwan has entered another phase of his baseball career. Although she left her mother, who cared for her youngest son who worked out, she is forever engraved in his heart. I support the fighting spirit of a living legend who will run back to the beauty of Yu-jong with his beloved mother in his heart.
