Oh holds the world lifetime home run record, having hit 868 home runs during his professional career.

In 1977, Oh became the first recipient of the People's Honour Award. He was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994. Oh batted and threw left-handed and primarily played first base.
