JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Seung-hwan Oh enjoyed a breakout rookie season for St. Louis, compiling a 1.92 ERA and evolving into the closer. After finishing with 19 saves, the right-handed reliever enters this spring with a clearly defined role at the end of the Cardinals bullpen.

Cardinals pitchers and catchers have officially reported to camp, but Oh, like most of the players in that group, has actually been in Jupiter for about a month. There one major difference in this year’s spring routine will come when Oh takes leave of the Cardinals to return home to play for South Korea in the World Baseball Classic — one of six Cardinals big leaguers who will take part in the tournament.

It will be Oh’s fourth world baseball classic.
