KIA Tigers 'Joong High School Rookie' Hong Won-bin (25) made a strong impression. He said he wanted to resemble the sexy Pilseungjo brothers. However, is there a sexier pitcher than a rookie who scored 154 kilometers with a two-seam fastball in his debut game.

Hong Won-bin took the mound in relief against Doosan in Jamsil on the 3rd and allowed one run in one inning. He came up in the bottom of the ninth inning with a generous 11-2 lead and ended it easily.

If you look at the report card, it's a common debut match. In fact, in a comfortable situation where the game was decided, the prospect who received the opportunity showed enough potential.

Hong Won-bin's story is special because he endured seven years to throw this ball. Hong Won-bin was a promising player in the first round of the 2019 rookie draft. Expectations were high as he was 1m95 tall, weighed 101kg, and had fastballs. However, Hong Won-bin lacked control. I tried to make up for my weakness for a long time. It wasn't until his seventh year as a member of the team that he made his debut with emotion.

Hong Won-bin made a clear impression with a maximum speed of 154 kilometers.

His next goal is 'Victory Gaitujo'.

Hong Won-bin came up to the first team and watched Pilseungjo brothers throw. It was so cool that it almost felt sexy. It's a long way off now, but one day, while playing a must-win group, my next goal is to play a little more games for the team's victory."

Hong Won-bin got off to a shaky start by giving a walk to his first opponent, Kim Min-seok. After that, he allowed one run with hits and sacrifice flies. Still, he completed his mission by striking out Kim In-tae with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. Throwing a breaking ball with a crystal ball into the strike zone, the batter could not respond.

Hong Won-bin said "I think this is an experience because I used to walk a lot."He confessed that he was not so shaken by the first batter's walk." Hong Won-bin said, `Coaches also advised me to throw with the thought of striking out rather than not giving a walk.' He vowed to become a pitcher who will continue to make use of his strengths.
