Oh Seung-hwan, the 'final leader,' will hold the microphone again.

MBC will broadcast major 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) games from March 5 to 18. Commentator Oh Seung-hwan, commentator Jung Min-cheol, and MBC's flagship caster Kim Na-jin will work together to broadcast live the entire Korean game in the first round of the WBC finals at Tokyo Dome, Japan.

Oh Seung-hwan made his debut as an MBC baseball commentator in an exhibition match against the Czech Republic in the "2025 K-Baseball Series" held at Gocheok Dome in November last year. Immediately after his debut, he was evaluated by various media as "commentary with abundant international stage experience" and "clean and accurate delivery," and there was a positive response online, saying, "My heart was broken by the direct commentary like when I was a player."

Then, at the Korea-Japan match held at Tokyo Dome, he confirmed his presence with "Jakdu commentary" that predicted Ahn Hyun-min's solo home run in advance in the bottom of the eighth inning of the second game, becoming an icon of rustic murder in a short time.

Oh Seung-hwan has a deep relationship with WBC. In 2006, he won his first national flag at the first WBC and reached the semi-finals, and in 2009, he was runner-up in the second tournament, keeping the mound at every moment when Korean baseball shone the most on the world stage.

The WBC will be held in Miami, USA from the quarterfinals after the first round of the finals in Tokyo, Japan. Oh Seung-hwan has been on the mound in all three countries, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan, leaving an unprecedented record of 500 saves in the total of Korea, the U.S., and Japan, so he is expected to have a commentary from his experience.

Meanwhile, commentator Jung Min-chul, the permanent "legend pitcher" of the Hanwha Eagles, will commentate on WBC for the second consecutive tournament following 2023. He plans to make a perfect combination with Oh Seung-hwan with a cool analysis and witty commentary. Announcer Kim Na-jin, who became the voice of "Sunday Baseball" while broadcasting "MBC Sunday Baseball," will be the main caster of the tournament.

Caster Han Myung-jae, who is familiar to baseball fans with "luxury shouting," will work with Sohn Gun-young, a "veteran" commentator with 30 years of major league commentary, to broadcast major WBC games, including games in Group C like ours.

MBC will broadcast the official WBC warm-up match in Osaka. Following the warm-up match against Korea at 11:40 a.m. on March 2, the warm-up match against Orix will be broadcast at 11:45 a.m. on the 3rd.

Starting with the first Group C match between Taiwan and Australia at 12 p.m. and the match between Korea and the Czech Republic at 6 p.m., MBC will broadcast major WBC games, including all South Korean games.
