Lotte lowered Yoon Sung-bin and Park Jin to the second division and called up Hong Min-ki and Park Se-hyun to the first division ahead of the home game against the LG Twins in Busan on the 21st.
Yoon Sung-bin is a prospect who throws more than 150km of fastballs as the first designated pitcher in 2017, and Lotte has consistently tried to raise him by giving him a chance, but he has repeatedly expressed hope and disappointment every year.
This season, he pitched tremendously in four games and 18 ⅓ innings in the Futures League, striking out 34 times, giving him an opportunity to start the first team.
He started against LG in Busan on the 20th and struck out No. 1 Park Hae-min and No. 3 Kim Hyun-soo in the top of the first inning to see a different Yoon Sung-bin this time, but he gave up three runs with a walk, a hit ball, a push walk and a two-run hit. In the top of the second inning, he allowed consecutive walks, walks, walks, and hits, and was replaced by Park Jin without catching an out count. As soon as Park Jin-jin came out, he hit a grand slam by Song Chan-eui, and eventually Yoon Sung-bin's record was four hits, six walks, and two strikeouts and nine runs in one inning.
Lotte later chased with 17 hits, including all the starters, but failed to overcome the initial 10 runs and lost 9-17.
Yoon Sung-bin was impressive with fast balls up to 157km of fastballs and 146km of fork balls, but he eventually experienced another failure in the first team due to ball control problems with ABS.
Park Jin-jin, who came out as the second pitcher, also threw 86 pitches in five innings, allowing six hits (one homer) and five runs. He was excluded from the first team for now because he could not throw for the time being due to the large number of pitches.
Hong Min-ki is a left-handed prospect who graduated from Daejeon High School and joined as the fourth-ranked player in the second round in 2020. He pitched in only one game in 2021 and three games last year, and he came up as a special entry for a doubleheader again this year and went down again after recording two hits and one strikeout in one inning against Samsung on the 17th.
Park Se-hyun is a high school graduate of Baemyung High School and joined as the 14th in the second round this year. He has a 14.73 ERA in three games this year without losing or losing.
