"Honestly, I'm not thinking about fall baseball. It's the director's choice now."

Hanwha Eagles right-hander Yoon San-heum (26) is making a surprise performance to sing his miraculous postseason entry.

Yoon San-heum started against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 19th and pitched 3 innings of 35 hitless pitches, 1 strikeout, and 3 strikeouts. Hanwha won 4-3, winning four consecutive games, and secured more than second place to confirm its direct advance to the playoffs. It is the first playoff spot in 18 years since 2007.




Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon did not expect Yoon San-heum to throw this well. In the aftermath of the rain cancellation game, they had to endure eight consecutive games of hell from the Kiwoom Heroes match in Daejeon on the 13th to the KT Wiz match in Suwon on the 20th. There was a difficulty in holding out with five existing starting pitchers, and Yoon San-heum started as an opener.

Director Kim said, `You won't be able to throw long. It's because you keep throwing one inning and then leaving. (KIA batting order) I'm looking forward to (blocking) from No. 1 to No. 9."

It meant that it would be of great help to hold out until the batting order went around once. Then I thought he'd keep me for two innings. Manager Kim shook his head, saying he was greedy when the reporters said, `Can we stop three innings each?'




Yoon San-heum committed something that even the coach did not expect on the stage of his first professional debut. He got off to a good start by striking out Yoon Do-hyun and Park Chan-ho in the first inning, and even Kim Sun-bin grounded out to the third base to record three outs.

In the second inning, Kia's big guns lead to Choi Hyung-woo, Na Sung-bum and Patrick Wisdom. Yoon San-heum also treated these three players as three-way withdrawal, only throwing six balls.

24 pitches in 2 innings without losing a point. There was no reason not to leave Yoon San-heum until the third inning. Yoon San-heum, who also took the mound in the third inning, sent out Kim Ho-ryeong to the dune after two outs, but he did his job perfectly by turning Yoon Do-hyun into a fly ball to right field.




He cooked KIA's batting line by mixing 22 fastballs, 10 sliders and 3 curves. The maximum fastball speed came out to 150 kilometers, and the average speed was 148 kilometers.

After a successful first start, Yoon San-heum was very nervous when he hit the first batter in the first inning, and (Lee) Jae-won led the game very well. There were a lot of pitches and a lot of balls in the first inning, so I thought I'd just stick with the batters from the second inning. Fortunately, in the second inning, I think I reduced the number of pitches a lot and went to the third inning."

Yoon San-heum is a player who had many twists and turns. After graduating from Yeongjeol, he played for Paju Challengers in the independent league and joined the Doosan Bears as a nurturing player in 2019, but he was released after two seasons without a chance to play in the first team. He did not give up and played for the independent league scorebon hyenas again in 2021, and in June of that year, he wore a Hanwha uniform as a nurturing player.

In Hanwha, I got quite a few opportunities in the first team. In 2022, he also achieved his own performance by recording 37 games with one win and one loss, three holds, 33 ⅔ innings, and a 2.67 ERA. However, there were ups and downs in settling for the first team, and in December 2023, he joined Sangmu and solved the military problem.

Yoon San-heum, who returned from military service this year from Sangmu, has 10 games, 14 ⅔ innings, and a 1.84 ERA. The bullpen in the second half of the year is a big help at a time when it is very tired.

Yoon San-heum "While in Sangmu, he prepared a lot for his physique first. He worked out a lot by putting on about 10kg of weight, and he seems to have gained a lot of physical strength by throwing a lot of consecutive throws and multi-innings in Sangmu. (After gaining weight) I definitely feel like I'm putting more power on the ball."

Yoon San-heum was humble even though he had enough performance to desire to enter the fall baseball entry. First of all, he said he would do his best and wait for director Kim's choice.

Yoon San-heum said, `I'm glad that I'm being discharged from the military and adding more to the team than I thought. To be honest, I'm not thinking about fall baseball right now. I'm thinking about throwing it with concentration if there's a given situation in the rest of the game right now. (Postseason entry) It's the coach's choice. It's not something I can do, so I'll work hard in the given situation"I'm determined.
