Lotte Giants Yoon Sung-bin (26) is growing step by step.

Yoon Sung-bin pitched perfectly for one β…” of innings in a Futures game against the Samsung Lions' second division at Sangdong Baseball Stadium in Gimhae on the 5th.

He struck out against Samsung's Cha Seung-joon, Lee Byung-hun and Kim Sang-joon with strong pitching, and he did not use the on-base by handling it with foul flies and fly balls. However, Lotte lost 0-8 due to the heat wave cold game on this day.




Will 2025 remain the turning point of Yoon's life. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung is solving the missions assigned to him one by one.

First, it's bullpen transfer. In the meantime, the focus of Yoon Sung-bin and Yuk Sung has been selection. Due to the rapid difficulty of ball control, the possibility of using it as a starter was noted rather than a bullpen, which has a lot of pressure on one or two points. The focus was on pitching five to six innings while catching the target as much as possible and keeping the ball alive.

However, after using Kim Tae-hyung as the first starter last year and this year, he concluded that it would be difficult to select. It is giving tasks to build success experiences step by step and settle in the bullpen so that even a maximum 158km fastball full of charm can be properly utilized.

He moved to the bullpen and allowed him to catch one or two out-counts in the first team. Yoon Sung-bin was considered to throw comfortably by attaching conditions such as when he was losing by a large margin, when he could throw comfortably, and when there was no runner. In the match against Samsung in Busan on June 22, he also enjoyed being a winning pitcher on the first team stage in 2,462 days.

However, Yoon Sung-bin's position, which was neither a must-win group nor a chase group, was too ambiguous. I didn't have many chances to throw during my stay in the first team. Now, he was sent to the second team under the judgment that he needed more pitching experience. It is judged that the utilization is too narrow to be used in the first team, which is in a fierce ranking battle.

The cancellation of the first team was not a waste. This time, we have given a new task. Learn to run the game when there are runners.




The ball is fast, but the ball control used to shake rapidly when the runner went out. He has a big physique, but his pitching form is slow to match, so he was weak in stealing. As a result, it was a vicious cycle in which control was more shaken.

Lotte won the game between Samsung and Lotte at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 22nd with a score of 9-6. Yoon Sung-bin and Kim Tae-hyung share the joy of victory. Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.06.22/
In particular, the game on this day is even more meaningful to Yoon Sung-bin. It was because it was a bullpen session. Yoon Sung-bin also took the mound against Samsung in Gimhae on the 4th. At that time, he recorded one hit and no run in one β…“ inning. In particular, he also posted a dog that caught Samsung's Yang Woo-hyun as a check with one out and one base.

If he can play the role of a bridge one or two innings, even if he is not necessarily a must-win group, or if he can throw a 158-kilometer fastball that falls from a tall height of 1m97 when necessary for just one inning, Yoon Sung-bin's strong performance on the first team stage, which Lotte fans dream of, may not be a dream.

It's late, but it's in the right direction. Will Kim Tae-hyung's mission and expectations be rewarded. Yoon Sung-bin is growing day by day.
