 "I hope there's an article about it. It's not coming out".  Samsung Lions catcher Kang Min-ho is looking forward to renewing his contract with "final manager" Oh Seung-hwan.  After graduating from Gyeonggi High School and Dankook University, Oh joined Samsung in 2005 and started with 100 saves in the minimum game and the shortest season in his third year since joining the club in 2007, and broke the minimum game and youngest record in both 2009 and 2011, completing 150 saves and 200 saves, respectively.

In addition, Oh Seung-hwan achieved 250, 300, 350, and 400 saves for the first time in the KBO League, creating a milestone that no one can meet in the save category.
