Oh Seung-hwan (Hangul:오승환, Hanja: 吳昇桓) (born July 15, 1982 in Jeollabuk-do Jeongeup, South Korea) is a relief pitcher who plays for the Hanshin Tigers in the Nippon Professional Baseball. He is known as "Dol-bucheo" (Stone Buddha) for being unshaken and maintaining an emotionless face in every situation. His prowess as a relief pitcher also earned him the nickname, "Kkeut-pan Wang" (Final Boss). He is considered to be one of the greatest closers in the history of Korean baseball. Oh is a 5 ft 10 in, 205 lb right-handed pitcher. As a reliever, Oh throws a 92-94 four-seam fastball (tops out at 97 mph) and a slider as his primary pitches. His signature pitch is his four-seam fastball which, due to its hard rising movement has earned its nickname "Dol-jikgu" (Stone Fastball) in KBO League. ==Amateur career== Oh attended Kyunggi High School in Seoul, South Korea. He had been a pitcher since he began baseball, but he switched to the outfield after getting serious arm injuries in 1999. He joined the 2001 KBO draft at the end of his last high school season, but, despite intriguing some MLB scouts, went undrafted, and Oh elected to attend college instead. Upon graduation from high school, Oh started his collegiate career at Dankook University, but missed the entire 2001 and 2002 seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2001. In 2003, he came back to the mound, pitching limited innings as a relief pitcher. In 2004, his senior year at Dankook University, Oh came back - stronger, dominant, in total command and as consistent as ever, sweeping most of the Korean college pitching awards. In June, Oh made his first appearance for the South Korea national baseball team at the 2004 World University Baseball Championship held in Tainan, Taiwan. He led his team to the bronze medal, playing most of the games in closer duty. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oh Seung-hwan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
