Pitching for the Kia Tigers, Oller will take the mound against the LG Twins in Game 2 of the best-of-five first round on Sunday afternoon. During an interview with Yonhap News Agency on Saturday, Oller expressed his anticipation and enthusiasm for the experience.
"I am excited.

Oller acknowledged the grandeur of the event, stating, "It seems like it is going to be a very large spectacle."
Despite the heightened atmosphere, he emphasized his focus on maintaining his usual approach to the game. "I am trying to treat it as any other game," Oller noted.
