Oh Seung-hwan (42) of the Samsung Lions, the oldest player in professional baseball, is expected to return to the first division later than expected.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man met with reporters ahead of the Kiwoom Heroes match at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 21st and said, "Oh Seung-hwan took the mound in the Futures (second division) League game today, and there were reports that he would need a little more time."먹튀검증
Oh, who started this season in the second division, has been showing poor performance in the Futures League as well. He showed poor performance in five games, including one loss and one hold, and earned run average (ERA) of 19.80.
Oh Seung-hwan, who only recently resumed pitching in the aftermath of his thigh injury, showed hope in a Futures League game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 14th by throwing cleanly without allowing a run in one inning. In response, coach Park mentioned that he could put Oh Seung-hwan in the first division as early as this weekend.
However, in the game against the Lotte Giants' second division on the day, he did not show an impressive performance with two hits and one run in one inning.
Coach Park said, "I think both my condition and my physical condition are 'still'," adding, "I threw 145km/h last time, and they said that's just one. I think the second team decided that the average speed limit is now 140km/h, so I should raise it a little more." He added, "We need to recover our arrest and ball power to come up to the first team."
Meanwhile, Samsung called up another veteran pitcher Lim Chang-min (39) to the first team ahead of the game. Lim had been sluggish with one hold and an ERA of 5.87 in eight appearances until the middle of last month before going down to the first team due to elbow pain.
Regarding Lim Chang-min's plan to hire him, coach Park said, "First of all, we will test a few games in the chasing group and decide whether to use it at an important moment."
