"He's an unforgettable junior."

Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon recalled his special relationship with Oh Seung-hwan ahead of the game against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 31st.

Oh Seung-hwan had his second retirement tour event in the Samsung-Hanwha match. Oh Seung-hwan made 427 saves, the most in his KBO league career. The 47 saves recorded in 2006 and 2011 remain the most saved in a single KBO league season. Having played in Japan and the U.S., he made 549 saves overall in Korea, the U.S. and Japan. As he was the best closing pitcher in the KBO League in name and reality, he was qualified for the retirement tour.




On the 28th, Doosan Bears held a commemorative event by delivering gifts to Oh Seung-hwan. Hanwha is second.

During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, coach Kim created a legend of the gold medal as the head coach of the team '9 victories'.

Oh Seung-hwan was a four-year professional pitcher who made more than 40 saves in the previous two years. In the Beijing Olympics, he played as a key bullpen with one win, one save and an ERA of 0.00 in two games.

Coach Kim and Oh Seung-hwan also met again at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. However, he failed to win a medal in fourth place at the Tokyo Olympics.

As he won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics, expectations were high. However, he also received a lot of criticism for his disappointing performance. Oh joined the Olympic team as a substitute. He wore the national flag at the age of his late 30s, but he did not have a satisfactory result.

Manager Kim said, "(I have a lot of relationships with Oh Seung-hwan). The athletes I went to during the 2008 Beijing Olympics were my juniors, but they were my benefactors. In particular, Oh Seung-hwan was criticized a lot because he said he would gladly help him when he had the hardest time at the Tokyo Olympics, but the results were bad"I said I respected Oh Seung-hwan, but I can't forget his junior," he said.




What about Oh Seung-hwan as the head coach. Coach Kim said, `Throwing well to Korea, successful to Japan, and the ball worked in the U.S. as well. I think we made a lot of effort that we didn't see" he said.

Coach Kim said, "(Oh) I'm sad when Seung-hwan left, but I think I should look at it well because he can come back even bigger"I'm retiring now, but I'm a respected junior and I think there will be better things to do."I cheered for the future.
