Oh Seung-hwan (42), a veteran pitcher of the Samsung Lions who is struggling to get on board in the postseason.
Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man told a meaningful story. Before a practice game against Sangmu held at Lions Park in Daegu on the 7th, Park said "Ball and experience are important."
This is what he said while explaining about his concerns about managing the mound in a short-term game.
Coach Park said, `Even if the ball is a little less than the ball control, there are some areas that need to be controlled. It is necessary to observe and think comprehensively. I'm going to decide by checking the contents of the game until the Sangmu match and the Cheongbaek match (9th). I'm thinking about that", he explained.
Oh Seung-hwan, who was canceled the next day after allowing six runs (unearned) against Kiwoom on the 22nd of last month, went through adjustment time in the Futures League.
After recovering his ball power, he played in the Futures League.
He took the mound in two consecutive games against Lotte in the Futures League on the 2nd and KT on the 4th, and combined strikeouts in one inning each to prevent three hitless batters. Although it is a Futures League game, it laid the foundation for the rebound with a perfect pitch. The maximum speed was 145 km.
As for whether Oh Seung-hwan will be on board, coach Park Jin-man said, `He continues to play games in the Futures League and is being briefed on his pitching. It is on par with other pitchers. Nothing has been decided"It's a principled story.

When Oh Seung-hwan gets on board in the fall baseball, he is expected to perform all-weather, including important moments and chasing teams, depending on his ball power.
Samsung's bullpen is dominated by experienced pitchers. Starting with Oh Seung-hwan, Lim Chang-min, Kim Jae-yoon, and Kim Tae-hoon, and Song Eun-beom are full of veteran pitchers.
There is a lack of young bullpen pitchers who can overwhelm opponents with ball power. We have to overcome the slightly disappointing ball control and experience. Considering the Lions Park factor, which has a good home run, it is a slightly unstable factor in the second half of the game.
Even Choi Ji-kwang, who was active all-weather in the bullpen, left due to injury. The final judgment of the head coach remains, but the important thing is that there are not many cards in hand.
