Is the unknown potential finally going to explode. Yoon Sung-bin took the mound as a starter and pitched three perfect innings in the Futures game against KT Wiz's second team at Iksan Baseball Stadium in Jeollabuk-do on the 14th, raising the possibility of being promoted to the first team this year.
KT also had notable players, including veteran Kim Sang-soo, who returned from injury, Lee Ho-yeon, Yoon Joon-hyuk, and Kim Byung-joon.
The first inning was too much. After a fierce defensive battle between Kim Byung-joon and Kim Sang-soo to the 7th pitch and Kim Sang-soo to the 9th pitch, they were all treated as infield balls.
Starting with KT's No. 3 hitter An Chi-young, Yoon Sung-bin's brilliant strikeout march began on the day. Five consecutive strikeouts continued in the second inning, including Lee Ho-yeon, Yoon Joon-hyuk, and Kim Gun-hyung and Choi Sung-min in the third inning.
Kang Hyun-woo barely hit a ground ball to third base, but Moon Sang-joon, the next batter, struck out again. Of the six strikeouts, there were two strikeouts with three pitches and five strikeouts with five or fewer pitches. It was an explosive pitch that literally believed in his ball power and pushed the opponent's lineup.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung has been paying attention to Yoon Sung-bin. In one way or another, he is a fireballer who puts in a fastball in the mid-150km range.
He suddenly gave him a chance to start at the end of July last year, but he was sluggish with five runs in one inning due to pressure and defensive errors.
Still, Lotte considered Yoon Sung-bin's promotion to the first team among the nine consecutive games on Children's Day. Unfortunately, however, it was canceled due to back pain at that time.

On this day, Lotte won the game 8-2. It was a game in which first-team pitchers such as Kim Jin-wook, Choi Jun-yong, and Koo Seung-min were all out.
Kim Jin-wook is struggling a bit with 66 pitches, six hits, one walk, and one run in two ⅓ innings. Instead, Choi Jun-yong, who followed, pitched perfectly in one ⅔ inning, including one strikeout. Koo Seung-min, who took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning, allowed two hits, one walk, and one run.
It was also a return match for Jeon Min-jae, who left due to headshot dunes. Jeon Min-jae was 2 hits and 1 RBI in 5 at-bats, making everyone happy by showing off his still batting sense.
