41 years, 11 months, 21 days.

‘Stone Buddha’ Seung-hwan Oh (Samsung) set a record for oldest player to appear in the All-Star Game.

Oh Seung-hwan, a member of the Dream All-Star team, came up to the mound as the 10th pitcher with one out in the top of the 9th inning when the team was down 2-4 in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League All-Star Game held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 6th.

Oh Seung-hwan, who played in the All-Star Game for the first time in two years, set a record for the oldest player to play in the All-Star Game, including both pitchers and batters, at 41 years, 11 months, and 21 days old as of the 6th.

The oldest player to play in an All-Star game was Yang Jun-hyeok (Samsung/Eastern) in the 2010 season at the age of 41 years, 1 month, and 28 days. The oldest pitcher to play in a game was Son Min-han (NC/Nanum) in the 2015 season at the age of 40 years, 6 months, and 16 days.

Oh Seung-hwan gave up a single to right field to the first batter, Park Chan-ho (KIA), but put out the fire by forcing Kim Do-young (KIA) to fly out to right field.

He immediately caught Song Seong-moon (Kiwoom) with a fly ball to shortstop. Oh Seung-hwan, who came on with the score at 2-4, unfortunately failed to set the record for oldest save.

The oldest save record in the All-Star Game is 35 years, 2 months, and 16 days by Gye Hyeong-cheol (OB/Donggun).
