The first 160km of light was engraved in the night sky of Busan.

Lotte Giants' Yoon Sung-bin (26) threw a 160km fastball in Lotte's last home game of the year against the Samsung Lions at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 26th. It is the first time since joining Lotte with the first nomination in 2017.

Newcomer Park Joon-woo was selected on this day. However, Park Joon-woo managed to overcome the bases-loaded crisis in the first inning and was substituted early after allowing two runs in the second inning due to Kim Sung-yoon and Koo Ja-wook's timely hit.

With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung's choice was Yoon Sung-bin.

Yoon Sung-bin gave up a walk to the first batter Diaz shortly after taking the mound, but he struck out Kim Young-woong and got off to a good start. In the top of the third inning, Lee Sung-kyu, Kim Ji-chan, and Kang Min-ho were turned into three-way errors.

In the top of the fourth inning, Ryu Ji-hyuk, the leadoff hitter, hit a maximum speed of 160km in the process of competing only with a fastball. Yoon Sung-bin, who threw 157, 154, and 157 kilometers in a row, scored 160 kilometers of strikes. Since then, his fastballs of 157 kilometers and 158 kilometers have escaped and he gave up a walk.

However, he struck out Lee Jae-hyun on three pitches, Kim Sung-yoon on an infield fly ball, and Koo Ja-wook on a ground ball to finish the fourth inning.

In the fifth inning, he allowed a hit to Diaz, the first batter, and struck out Kim Young-woong and Lee Sung-kyu in a row. After giving up a hit to Kim Ji-chan and a walk to Kang Min-ho, he was replaced with the bases loaded with two outs. Chung Hyun-soo finished the inning by groundering Ryu Ji-hyuk to first base.

In particular, the game was special for Yoon. Since 2018, the second season, he has rarely been able to take the mound in the first team, but he has not seen it once a year.

However, Yoon gave up two hits and four outs during three innings on the day, but held on without losing a point. The last crisis was thanks to junior Chung Hyun-soo's defense without losing a point.

Yoon Sung-bin, who played three multi-innings this season, is the first to throw more than two innings. In terms of personal career, it was the first pitching in more than three innings in 2,686 days since May 20, 2018 (starting against Doosan Bears in Busan, one run in five innings)

Yoon Sung-bin, who made headlines for his fearsome fastball in the late 150km period every time he took the mound, sometimes collapsing in an incredible way.

In the game against the LG Twins on May 20, which was the first start of the year, he pitched the worst pitch of his career with nine runs in one inning. But this season was different.

The fastball itself is scary, but his control was so shaky that he was given a 'bulpen-free' ticket. However, manager Kim Tae-hyung made the game a turning point after seeing Yoon Sung-bin's strong fastball on the day. He ordered Yoon to switch to the bullpen.

And this year has changed in many ways. He has taken the mound in a total of 29 games (starter 1) and played 22 ⅔ innings with a 1-2 record and an 8.74 ERA. The first 9 runs were so big, and since I'm not a pitcher who plays long innings afterwards, will I lose a point??This is because the ERA soared every time.

However, it has grown noticeably little by little due to the careful appointment of the head coach. Head coach Kim Tae-hyung prepared and repeatedly practiced specific situations in which Yoon Sung-bin was put in, such as 'definitely decided situation' and 'when strikeouts were needed'. As a result, Yoon Sung-bin began to show his skills little by little.

In particular, he scored his first 160km fastball in his life, following the lead of the so-called 'Arrest Revolution' Moon Dong-ju and Kim Seo-hyun.

In fact, with autumn baseball set to be frustrated for eight consecutive years, it has given fans who visited the scene as the last home game even though it is the first track number.

Yoon Sung-bin is a ninth-year professional pitcher, but he was born in 1999. The 26-year-old pitcher still has limitless potential. Yoon Sung-bin, who is going down the mound on this day, was given a hot standing ovation by Busan fans.
