"After nine seasons in the Korean Baseball Organization, and two in Japan, Oh came stateside, joining the St. Louis Cardinals in 2016. That season, he posted a 1.92 ERA and 2.13 FIP in 79.2 innings pitched, with a 32.9 K% and 5.8 BB%. Despite being 33 years old at the time, Oh finished sixth in National League rookie of the year voting."
"During the 2017/18 off-season, Oh signed a one-year deal with the Blue Jays, along with a vesting option. Oh returned to the form he had in his rookie campaign, posting a 2.68 ERA and 3.03 FIP in 47 innings pitched, with a 29.1 K% and 5.3 BB%. Before the 2018 trade deadline, the rebuilding Blue Jays sent Oh to the playoff bound Colorado Rockies for Chad Spanberger, Forrest Wall, and a player to be named later."
"That player to be named later turned out to be Bryan Baker, who didn't get much of an opportunity with the Blue Jays, but found success with the Baltimore Orioles. Anyway, Oh had a 2.53 ERA and 3.86 FIP in 21.1 innings pitched with the Rockies to end the 2018 season. He hit his vesting option, meaning he pitched with the Rockies in 2019, authoring a 9.33 ERA and 6.70 FIP in 18.1 innings pitched."
Seung-hwan Oh announced his retirement in October after a long international career. He spent nine seasons in the KBO and two in Japan before joining the St. Louis Cardinals in 2016, posting a 1.92 ERA and 2.13 FIP in 79.2 innings with a 32.9 K% and 5.8 BB%, finishing sixth in NL rookie of the year voting. He struggled in 2017 with a 4.10 ERA and lower strikeout rate. Oh signed a one-year Blue Jays deal for 2018, rebounded with a 2.68 ERA, was traded to the Rockies, declined sharply in 2019, then returned to the Samsung Lions in 2020 and pitched six more seasons before retiring.
