'BIG LEAGUE SENIOR' OH SEUNG-HWAN, "GO WOO-SEOK THERE IS NO NEED TO RUSH... THE OPPORTUNITY WILL COME"
Oh Seung-hwan (41, Samsung Lions) first sent a text message to Go Woo-seok (25, San Diego Padres) after he confirmed his advancement to the American professional baseball major league.
He thought that it might be difficult for juniors to contact him first and ask for advice.
Go Woo-seok, who said several times, “Senior Oh Seung-hwan is my role model,” began his big league career receiving warm advice from his “idol.” 온라인카지노
Oh Seung-hwan met with reporters at Incheon International Airport on the 7th, after returning from spring camp in Okinawa, Japan, and revealed part of his 'conversation with Go Woo-seok.'
He said, “I contacted Wooseok a few times.
“I contacted him first, and we talked about this and that recently,” he said.
“I told Wooseok, ‘San Diego already knows about you.
“I hope I can escape the pressure of having to show too much in exhibition games,” he recalled.
In fact, it is very difficult for a player who has advanced to the major league, his dream stage, to maintain composure.
Oh Seung-hwan, considered the best closing pitcher in Korean baseball history, was also nervous in his first year in the big league.
Seung-hwan Oh confessed, “Actually, I also ‘over-paced’ in 2016, the first year I entered the major league.”
However, Seung-hwan Oh started in the St. Louis Cardinals setup in his first year in the big leagues and earned his first major league save against the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium on July 3.
Starting in August of that year, he pushed out Trevor Rosensol, who was considered the top closer in the big leagues at the time, and became the regular closer for St. Louis.
Seung-Hwan Oh had 42 saves until his major league career ended in September 2019.
Even after achieving 'success' in establishing himself as a closing pitcher in his first year in the big leagues, Oh Seung-hwan confessed, "There was trial and error."
Seung-hwan Oh said, "When I entered the big league, there was no 'senior from the big league' to ask for advice.
I contacted Wooseok first to get some help.
Fortunately, Wooseok was Kim Ha-seong, who entered the Big League First on the same team.
It’s a much better situation to adapt to,” he said.
Oh Seung-hwan, who experienced the big league first, wishes his junior success.
Oh Seung-hwan cheered, “A chance will definitely come to Go Woo-seok.
And Go Woo-seok will seize that opportunity well.”
