The Lotte Giants started a nine-game series of "hellish schedule." Will Yoon Sung-bin, the "painful finger," be called by the first team.
Yoon Sung-bin started against the LG Twins' second team at Icheon Champions Park in Gyeonggi Province on the 29th and pitched hard in four ⅓ innings with 90 pitches, two hits, four walks, 10 strikeouts and two runs (two earned runs).
Although he is not registered in the first division, there is a person who is hot on the baseball field in the second division recently. It is Yoon Sung-bin from Lotte. Yoon Sung-bin, who received Lotte's first nomination in the 2017 Rookie Draft, received tremendous attention from his amateur days. His talent to spray fast balls exceeding 150 kilometers per hour based on his 197-cm-tall hardware was coveted not only by KBO League but also by Major League scouts.
However, Yoon is currently Lotte's "painful finger." Since taking the mound in 18 games with two wins, five losses and an earned run average of 6.39 in 2018, he only played in the first team three times until last year. Lotte has been providing support in both ways to utilize Yoon's talent in the first team. It has sent training programs to Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan as well as the U.S. driveline program, but has yet to blossom.
He certainly possesses powerful weapons, but the biggest problem is his jagged control. Numerous coaches have been taking actions to address Yoon's issues with his ball control. As a result, his ball control has not been resolved, and his ball control has changed frequently, leaving him in a situation where no significant solution has been found. However, the mood is slightly different these days. Yoon seems to have finally realized something. The gap between the top and bottom teams is obviously wide, but it is encouraging that he is still making progress.
In his first appearance of the season against the NC Dinos' second division on the 2nd, Yoon Sung-bin was sluggish with one hit (one homer) and four walks and three runs (three earned) in one inning, and three runs (non-earned) in two innings against the Goyang Heroes on the 8th, but his pitching has improved remarkably since then. Against the KIA Tigers on the 12th, Yoon Sung-bin pitched five innings of one hit, two walks and 10 strikeouts, securing his first win of the season. In addition, he also won consecutive games against the Samsung Lions on the 19th by allowing one hit, six walks and eight strikeouts in six innings.
As the records show, basically, the control problem has not been completely improved. However, he is clearly spraying balls that even the second-tier Korean players cannot easily touch if he enters a strike zone. While pitching in 14 innings in four games except for his game on Tuesday, Yoon has allowed only three hits. Of course, he may have difficulty distinguishing between pitches that can be hit and those that cannot be hit due to his jagged control of the ball, but at least the figure is very impressive. 먹튀검증
His pitching on Tuesday was not bad, either. He threw a maximum of 156 kilometers of fastballs, sliders, curves, and folk balls, and pitched four ⅓ innings of two-run ball against the LG Twins. During the process, he struck out a whopping 10. Yoon allowed a walk to Park Kwan-woo in the first inning, but struck out Son Yong-joon, Ham Chang-gun, and Moon Jung-bin to start the game with "KKKK."
Yoon Sung-bin struck out Taehoon Lee and Kim Min-soo in a row in the second inning, tied Jeon Kyung-won with a fly ball to the second base, and displayed a "no-hit" pitch in the third inning by striking out Um Tae-kyung with a fly ball to right field, Shim Kyu-bin with a strikeout to Son Yong-joon. The crisis was overcome well in the fourth inning. He seemed to take a breather by tying Ham Chang-gun with a fly ball to right field after receiving a double from leadoff hitter Park Kwan-woo, but he was shaken sharply by giving up consecutive walks to Moon Jung-bin and Taehoon Lee. However, Kim Min-soo and Jeon Kyung-won, who followed, all of whom were struck out and cooked.
What was regrettable was the fifth inning. He gave up a walk to Um Tae-kyung from the start, and another crisis came when he was hit by Shim Kyu-bin, the follow-up hitter. Afterwards, Yoon completed the 10K by striking out Woo Jung-an, a pinch hitter, but the Lotte bench decided to replace him. And Kim Tae-hyun, the "2025 first-rounder" who took over the baton, allowed Yoon to score, finishing the game with two runs in four ⅓ innings.
Manager Kim Tae-hyung does not pay much attention to the records in the second division. This explains why all different situations are different including official balls. In particular, the jagged ball control in the second division could make the team even more shaky on the first division stage, which includes "full crowd." However, 10 teams including Lotte will start a nine-game "hellish schedule" from May 29 to mark Children's Day. As there are no holidays in the middle, each team is in need of its sixth starting pitchers. Yoon's record of striking out 34 times during 18 ⅓ innings with a 2.45 ERA with two wins and no loss may arouse the desire for a test. What choice will Lotte make.
