Cho Sung-hwan, acting manager of Doosan Bears, saw Oh Seung-hwan (Samsung) off with 'extreme praise'.

KBO League's representative closer Oh Seung-hwan started the '2025 KBO League Doosan Bears match at Jamsil on the 28th. Doosan presented the pottery with the inscription 'End the history of the last edition' Acting manager Cho Sung-hwan said, "I was really reluctant to meet Oh Seung-hwan when I was active." However, when he was active, his overall batting average was very strong at 0.357.

Oh Seung-hwan officially announced on the 6th that he would end his active career after this season. Samsung designated Oh Seung-hwan's number 21 as a permanent absentee. The retirement tour will be followed by Daejeon Hanwha on the 31st, Gwangju KIA on September 10, Daegu SSG on the 11th, Jamsil LG on the 20th, Suwon KT on the 21st, Busan Lotte on the 26th, and Gocheok Kiwoom on the 28th. An official retirement ceremony will be held against KIA in Daegu on September 30.

Oh Seung-hwan is the best closing pitcher of all time in Korea. It was nicknamed 'Stone Buddha', 'The Last King'. Nicknames were also exported during the Major League era. It was called the 'Final Boss'. Oh Seung-hwan has accumulated 549 saves in his professional career, including 427 saves in the KBO League, 80 saves in the Japanese professional baseball league, and 42 saves in the Major League.

Oh said with a smile, "I was more nervous than the game." Oh Seung-hwan said, `I don't know what to say. Doosan prepared so well. I also like the pottery and I especially like the phrase."

Acting pitcher Cho Sung-hwan "was one of the pitchers I really didn't want to see. He's the opposite team, but he made me realize that one closer has a great meaning" he remembered.

However, acting Cho Sung-hwan was strong against Oh Seung-hwan. He had five hits in 14 at-bats (two doubles) with two RBIs and a batting average of 0.357 / on-base percentage of 0.357 / slugging percentage of 0.500. He also had a walk-off hit in 2008.

Acting president Cho Sung-hwan laughed, saying, `I've made a very big beautiful night for me,' but was hit by a slider while going out to fastball timing. If it was a fastball, there would be no such hit. I literally threw a straight ball. Even if it was a little miss, my hand just rang."

Then "It was an honor to run in the same era. I'm rooting for my next life. I want to tell them that you did a great job," he added.

However, Oh Seung-hwan, whose daily routine was Ending Situation, did not remember that day. Oh Seung-hwan said, `Honestly, I don't remember. I got a lot of finishes, too. I try to forget that kind of game right away. I was able to do this for a long time because I forgot it quickly" he said.

For the time being, parenting is the number one priority. Oh Seung-hwan said, `I've talked to my family. I don't want to rush into my second life. I've been struggling so far, but I hope I can be comfortable with this time for now. So I don't have much worries right now. I will concentrate on raising children."
