Yoon Sung-bin (26) threw a 160km fastball in the last home game of this year against the Samsung Lions in Busan on the 26th.
Yoon Sung-bin, who took the mound in relief in the second inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, gave up a walk to Diaz, the first batter, but struck out Kim Young-woong and took a pleasant first step. 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, he hit a maximum speed of 160km after throwing only a fastball against leadoff hitter Ryu Ji-hyuk. Yoon Sung-bin's fourth pitch, which threw 157, 154, and 157 kilometers in a row, was a 160-kilometer strike. 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 was hit by the first batter Diaz, but he 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.
This is Yoon's fourth multi-inning game this season. However, it is his first time pitching in two or more innings this year.
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)
It has grown noticeably little by little due to the careful appointment of head coach Kim Tae-hyung this season. Manager Kim Tae-hyung decided to raise Yoon Sung-bin to a bullpen instead of starting, and repeatedly practiced Yoon Sung-bin in certain situations such as `definitely divided situations' and `when strikeouts are needed.' He constantly took him to the first team to watch the game, and he continued to gain experience of success and boosted his confidence.

After the game, Yoon said, `Looking back on the past, I think this was the first year I played baseball properly. I thank the coach for taking the mound despite his poor control.
Then "The pitching coaches always told me a lot of encouraging things rather than bitter things. I don't want to forget that consideration, and I want to repay you on the mound," he stressed.

"Today is the last day of the home game, but we have the remaining away games. I'll show you how I don't give up until the end of the season. This year is more meaningful than any other year. I will not be complacent with the way I am now, but I will show you how I am developing more every year."
