The 1m97 giant's adaptation to the first team is successful day by day.

Yoon Sung-bin (26) of the Lotte Giants was registered in the first division with the opening of the second half. Preparing for the first appearance since the KT Wiz match on June 27. For the player himself, it was a "time to wait with regret and excitement"."

But the opportunity was not easily given. He let go of four consecutive games against the LG Twins and three consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes.




Yoon Sung-bin's name rang out only in the second game of the weekend against the Busan KIA Tigers on the 26th. It was in the top of the ninth inning with a 9-4 lead.

It didn't start well. He threw a hit ball to Park Chan-ho, the first batter of KIA,

The next batter, Wisdom, has 22 homers, ranking second after Samsung Diaz this season. However, Yoon's fastball was extraordinary. Wisdom's bat broke and became a fly ball to center field.




At this time, the location of the ball was ambiguous. First baseman Park Chan-ho's bonehead play came out. a misidentification of the place of the fall ball.

In the end, it became a double play and helped Yoon Sung-bin. Yoon Sung-bin finished his mission by grounding the last batter, Choi Hyung-woo, to second base. The number of pitches was 14 and the maximum speed of fastballs was 156 kilometers. There is only one slider.

Overall, it was refreshing. In particular, the areas such as too large and dull pitching form and ball control in the set position, which were pointed out earlier, showed clear improvement.




However, Kim's eyes were cold-hearted. When Yoon Sung-bin was asked at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 27th, he drew the line saying, `That's how much a pitcher he is now.'

"It's hard to write if you're not that good at controlling the ball against the first batter. I threw well after that, but now I'm just looking at the center and throwing. In the end, pitchers should be run in the game. If it steadily improves in the future, wouldn't it go up one step at a time. I'm not expecting much right now."

What if Park Chan-ho allowed another walk or a hit after dune? Manager Kim Tae-hyung asserted that "(Choi) Jun-yong put it right away." Closer Kim Won-joong was also warming up in the bullpen.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `If you are confident that you will stop him, you will not let him solve it. But (Yoon Seong-bin) doesn't exist. Everyone has to go in if it's the summer", he explained. Yoon Sung-bin's record this season is 1-1 with a 17.36 ERA. There are expectations for the ball power, but the current evaluation seems to be on record.

Regarding Shim Jae-min, who finished the ⅓ inning the previous day, "Throwing well is long, it is difficult to throw like now. He explained, "I want you to deal with four batters and five batters for one inning or more, but it's difficult to throw seven to 10 balls and come down."

One of this year's valuable discoveries is Kim Kang-hyun. He plays the role of a long man and a chasing team in the bullpen, and a must-win team when necessary. He is a former nurturing player and turned catcher 'non-mainstream' pitcher, but he stands out for his calmness. He is often responsible for multi-inning.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `He has his own pitching. The slider angle is good, and the fastball is also strong. One of the best players compared to the expectations before the season."
