It's the same pattern again. If you throw well in the second team and come up to the first team, you will be withdrawn after giving a walk.
I thought it would be different this year. This is because fireball pitchers, who used to have a lot of walks, often find stability as the ball that used to be caught with a ball becomes a strike due to ABS.
Yoon Sung-bin, who has struck out as many as 34 in 18 ⅓ innings in four recent Futures League games, has a chance to start the first team. With a whopping 16.7 strikeouts per nine innings, he was able to pull off the first-team mound.
It wasn't without worry. Last year, he also came to the first team based on his good pitching in the Futures League, but on July 30, he became a losing pitcher with four hits (one home run) and two walks and five runs in one inning against SSG Landers…It was a part of coming up to the army. Yoon Sung-bin, who allowed two runs in the bottom of the first inning after a two-out hit to Herredia and a two-run hit to Park Sung-han, allowed a walk, a two-run home run, and a walk as soon as he came out in the bottom of the second inning, and was immediately replaced by Choi Yi-joon.
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said of Yoon Sung-bin before the game, "(Yoon) I'm also looking forward to how Sung-bin will throw," adding, "(As a manager, I'm also looking forward to it."Give a point and leave it and see if he goes into the batter's game on the mound." The more cheeks you have, the harder it is"I wanted to go head-to-head with the batter.
Yoon Sung-bin, who surprised fans by striking a 157km fastball from the first pitch to Park Hae-min in the top of the first inning, got off to a good start with two more fastballs in succession to Park Hae-min. Moon Sung-joo threw a 146km fork ball for the third time after the 2S and allowed a hit to the left. However, he induced No. 3 Kim Hyun-soo to swing and miss with consecutive folk balls, striking out another one, and demonstrating his strikeout ability in the Futures League without regret.
Was it because Moon Sung-joo's steal of second base succeeded in the first pitch of Moon Bo-kyung's at-bat in No. 4 and the runner was in the scoring position. From then on, Yoon Sung-bin's control began to shake. Moon Bo-kyung had a series of balls, and a walk came out, and Oh Ji-hwan had a hit ball and loaded the bases with two outs. Song Chan-eui was in a full-count race, and a 153km fastball, which came down the sixth pitch, became a ball and gave up the first run with a push walk. After a full count match with No. 7 Koo Bon-hyuk, he also sprayed a 157km fastball low in the middle, but this became a heavy hit and lost two more points. 0-3.

At the top of the second inning, the ball control was not caught from the beginning. He gave up consecutive walks to No. 9 Lee Joo-heon and No. 1 Park Hae-min, and lost another point after being hit by a heavy hit by Moon Sung-joo. He then allowed another straight walk to Kim Hyun-soo, loading the bases with no outs. He gave up a walk after a full count match with Moon Bo-kyung, and followed Oh Ji-hwan's missed ball to the first base, but failed to catch it and allowed an infield hit. In the end, he was replaced by Park Jin in the crisis of 0-6, no outs and the bases loaded, and Park Jin hit a grand slam by Song Chan-eui, making it 0-10 in an instant. Yoon's performance was four hits and six walks in one inning, two strikeouts and nine runs. He suffered his first loss of the season, and his ERA was a whopping 81.00. Lotte's batters attacked in the back, but failed to overcome the initial 10-point lead and lost 9-17.
In some cases, strikes that hit the corner of the ABS also came out and benefited, but even though it was ABS, six walks poured out, exposing the still unrest in control. In the second team, even though he threw confidently, he showed once again that he had to supplement his mental part that showed anxiety when he came to the first team. In the end, it was Yoon Sung-bin's pitching that he felt once again that no matter how fast a 157km ball was sprayed, it would be of no use if he could not throw a strike.
Will Yoon Sung-bin have another chance to be selected. Based on what head coach Kim Tae-hyung said before the game, it does not seem easy to get the next opportunity, but it is also regrettable to leave the talent of spraying 157km as it is.
