context_page_description: Seung-hwan Oh is a South Korean professional baseball relief pitcher for the Samsung Lions of the KBO League. He previously played for the Lions in South Korea, the Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan, and the St. Louis Cardinals, Toronto Blue Jays, and Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball. He is known as "Dol-bucheo" 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", in South Korea and among Cardinal fans.
context_section_description: A right-handed pitcher, Oh stands 5' 10" (178 cm) and weighs 205 pounds (93 kg).  His primary pitches include a four-seam fastball – averaging 92–93 miles per hour (148–150 km/h) and topping out at 96 miles per hour (154 km/h) – and a mid-80s slider with a darting motion resembling a cutter.
  Oh's signature pitch is the four-seam fastball, which, due to its hard rising movement, earned the nickname "Dol-jikgu" (stone fastball) in Korea.  By varying the speeds of each pitch, he alters the movement.  He also alters the delivery of his pitches, creating another factor to change the batter's concentration.
