Is it because the positive energy of Jung Cheol-won and Jeon Min-jae has been distributed to the Lotte Giants? Yoon Sung-bin, a rising star for many years, also opened his eyes.
He is tall at 1 meter 97, physically able to throw more than 150 kilometers no matter what form he throws. He has a physique strengthened by hard workouts and a handsome face just like a model.스포츠토토
Lotte Giants Yoon Sung-bin is a player who has everything a baseball player should have.
This is why he is so unlucky. He rarely showed impressive performance in the first division. Beyond the "second division instigation fever," he is about to be called the "bulpens instigation fever."
He is off to a bad start this year. In the game against the NC Dinos' second division on Saturday, he allowed three runs in one inning by tying four home runs and four walks, and in the game against the Goyang Dinos on Sunday, he also gave up three walks and allowed three runs (no earned run) in two innings.
And the day when fastballs are stuck in flames is terrifying. The KIA Tigers' second division match on the 12th was a game that showed why they expect Yoon. Yoon pitched five scoreless innings on the day. The opponent team only had one walk and one hit, and Yoon overwhelmed the KIA lineup with 10 strikeouts.
He changed his pitching form again compared to last year. He changed his pitching form to three quarters, close to his high school days, saying he would throw as comfortably as possible. On the day, he increased his release point again. His fastball that seemed to be hitting the ball from the second floor stood out.
As many as 67 out of a total of 80 pitches were fastballs. He threw breaking balls such as fork balls and sliders, but he threw focused on fastballs that were in focus for the first time in a long time. The maximum speed was 154km and the average speed was 152km.
They are Yoon Sung-bin, who was drafted by Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) and the first nomination in 2017.
Lee Jung-hoo, who is in his second year of living in the U.S., recently roared against the New York Yankees by launching a home run. Lee Jung-hoo hit a three-run home run in the first game against the Yankees on the 12th (Korea time), and in the third game on the 14th, he hit a home run in consecutive at-bats and swung a fire bat with two hits and four RBIs in three times at bat.
When he was a high school student at Busan High School, Yoon was a talented player who played in the Major League. However, the current situation is too shabby. He has yet to taste the first team in the KBO League.
He was appointed as a starter in 2018, his second year since debut, but it is hard to even see him take the mound in the first team. Except for 18 games (10 starters) in 2018, he only played three games and had two ⅓ innings in the first team. In July last year, Kim Tae-hyung made an exceptional start against SSG Landers, but he was shaken during the defensive mistakes and collapsed with four hits (one homer) and two walks and five runs in one inning without catching any outcount in the second inning, causing disappointment.
Still, expectations are still high. Whenever Futures takes the mound, fans show enthusiastic reactions.
Being tall is an advantage of a pitcher and his potential to boost his speed in the future, but he is also the biggest enemy in balancing his pitches. Jang Min-ik (former Doosan Bears), the tallest player in the history of 2m7, and Kim Joo (2m) and Shin Ji-hoo (1m98, former Hanwha Eagles) were all talents, but it was also a nightmare.
Will Yoon continue to follow suit? Amid Son Ah-seop's transfer to the NC Dinos and Park Sun-woo (former KT) and Yoon Seong-bin's slump, Busan High School's personal connections have faded even at Lotte for a while. Busan High School coach Park Gye-won even expressed regret over the move. Rather, Busan High School has bloomed at NC Dinos including Son Ah-seop, Kim Jae-yeol and Ryu Jin-wook.
Recently, however, Busan High School's power has also been revived in Lotte. Park Jin and Chung Hyun-soo have been reborn as bullpen must-win groups, and young catcher Park Jae-yeop is growing well.
When asked about Yoon, Kim Tae-hyung would say in no uncertain terms, "Yoon is not in a situation to ask his opinion right now." This means that he is not in the top tier of the pro baseball league.
He added, "I'm constantly watching the game." He is tinkering with Chung Cheol-won's card every game because there is no "bullpens pitcher with good pitching." If Yoon shows a different side of himself than before, it could be a great hope for Lotte.
