Oh took the mound in an exhibition game against LG at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Saturday. It was Oh's first real game this season, which he did not take the mound in a practice game for spring camp.
Oh performed poorly, allowing three hits and three runs during one inning. Oh took the mound in the seventh inning when the game was tying 3-3, and hit leadoff hitter Hong Chang-ki with a fly ball to the third baseman.
However, in the game with Shin, he pitched in the third pitch of the ball count in his favor of two strikes, and became a hit to his body. He then allowed Austin a hit to the left, putting him on the verge of a crisis with one out and runners on the first and second bases.
Moon Bo-kyung was attacked with a fork ball thrown at 2 balls and 2 strikes. It was a two-base hit on the right fence, and both runners homered. The score was 3-5.
Park Hae-min got two outs with a ground ball to the first base, but allowed one more run after Koo Bon-hyuk hit a timely hit to the middle field with two outs and a third base. Later, he ended the inning by tagging out first baseman Koo Bon-hyuk with a check ball.
Oh posted a maximum speed of 148 kilometers per fastball on the day, displaying good pitching speed. As it was his first time to play in a real game, he did not seem to have the best sense of play in a real game yet.
Manager Park Jin-man said of Oh's pitching on the previous day, "Since it is his first real game, I think he will be good at many things. I am in a situation where I am building up my body. It was my first real game yesterday after not being able to throw in a real game, so I think I can build up my body through an exhibition game and play my part in the opening game."
Oh will no longer be available in the ninth inning. He will take the mound in the sixth to seventh innings. When asked if Oh will pitch in the seventh to eighth innings, Park said, "Seung-hwan will play the role of stepping stone in the sixth to seventh innings. If a starter throws in the sixth inning, he can get in as a one-point position in the sixth inning, or he can go in to end the inning."
He added, "I'm going to use it a little bit earlier this year. I've been using it that way since last year when the season passed, so I'm preparing that way again this year."
Oh pitched in 58 games last year, recording three wins, nine losses and 27 saves with two holds and an ERA of 4.91. He has 427 saves in his career. He still showed solid ball power as a closing pitcher in the first half of last year, but his ball power plummeted in the middle of this season. He had a slump with an ERA of 12.15 in nine games in July last year, and eventually retired from the secondary league in mid-August. He was not included in the postseason entry due to his poor ball power at the last minute of the season. He finished the season without playing in the Korean Series.
