(Sports Seoul | Reporter Park Yeon -jun) At one time, it was a label called ‘Filled Prospect’. The first place, from Busan, to the speed of mid -150km per hour. At the time of his debut, he received all the spotlights, but he spent time due to injuries and sluggishness. But this year is different. Yoon Sung -bin (26), who is the core of Lotte Bullpen, is finally showing off his potential on the mound.
Yoon Sung -bin joined Lotte’s first place in 2017. Although he was attracting attention as a next -generation starting resource with fast ball and physique conditions, he continued to go down after recording an average ERA of 6.39 in 2018. He only threw only one match for three consecutive seasons in the 2019, 2021 and 2024 seasons. Most of the rest of the period stayed in rehabilitation and second -class life. The gap between expectations and reality was great.
This is different this season. In his first back in May, he had a nightmare of nine innings, but after reorganization in the second group, it changed perfectly. From the SSG on June 15 to Hanwha on the 12th, he continued to march 12 consecutive games.
The monthly average ERA of 3.60 in August is stable. Even in the crisis, the concentration and confidence that are not shaken are outstanding. This is why Kim Tae -hyung believes in Yoon Sung -bin in the game.
Yoon Sung -bin said, “In the past, the tension was high in the mound, so I was shaken by a small mistake. I don’t care much in any situation.”
The key to throwing well is in ‘choice’. Until July, he used fastballs, sliders and forkballs. In August, he boldly throws the slider and throws only fastballs and fork balls.
Yoon Sung -bin explained, “The two types alone are good results.
Yoon Sung -bin’s fastball is still powerful. The highest restraint is 158km / h and the average restraint is 154km. There is a greed of 160 km / h, but he said, “It’s not that level yet. It’s a priority to throw a strike first rather than throw it hard.”
After a long trial and error and a foam correction, it was equipped with a ball. Yoon Sung -bin said, “There were many painful places to change the form every year, but I managed my physical condition first. Thanks to Kim Sang -jin and Kim Hyun -wook’s maps, I stabilized the lower body and balance, and the result was rising.”
In the meantime, I had a hard time. He endured the evaluation that he could not throw too much. I got enlightenment in the process. Thanks to this, we are currently in compliance. Yoon Sung -bin said, “Baseball is really fun these days. The first nomination of Busan, Busan, tasted the failure and climbed again. I like my narrative.”
Yoon Sung -bin’s resurrection also breathed in Lotte Bullpen. This season, Lotte’s ups and downs of the bullpen were clear, but Yoon Sung -bin settled in Pil Seung -jo and regained his sense of stability.
Yoon Sung -bin also vowed, “I will throw it comfortably in the future. As the director believed and sent me, I will do my best to do what I can do.” duswns0628@sportsseoul.com
