Professional career

[edit]

After graduation from Dongguk University in 2006 Park started his pro season in the SK Wyverns. In his rookie season Park only appeared in five games as a left-handed specialist. After the 2006 season, Park entered Sangmu Baseball Team to serve two-year military service. Park came back to the Wyverns in 2010 but had a mediocre season posting a 4.58 ERA in 14 games as a relief pitcher.

In 2011, Park served primarily as a setup pitcher for closer Chong Tae-Hyon, typically pitching in the seventh and eighth innings of games before Chong pitched in the ninth. In the season, Park finished with a 1.88 ERA and 8 holds in 67 innings pitched.

Park had a career year in 2012, as he had an 8–1 record with a career-low 1.32 ERA and six saves in 65 games. Park also set a KBO league record with 34 holds, two more than the previous mark equaled by Kwon Oh-Joon with the Samsung Lions in 2006.
