Will Lotte's "potential" not explode again this year after waiting for nine long years.

Lotte chose Yoon Seong-bin (26) as its first choice in 2017. Yoon was famous for his 197-centimeter-tall fastball during his high school days as well. He is expected to be the ace of the future and gave a down payment of 450 million won (427,530 U.S. dollars).바카라사이트

However, what Yoon has done so far was disappointment itself. In 2018, he pitched in 18 games and 50 ⅔ innings, leaving two wins, five losses and a 6.39 ERA, but has yet to blossom into his baseball career, with 81.00 in one ⅓ innings in 2019, 0.00 in one game in 2021, and 45.00 in one game last year.

Despite his powerful fastball, Yoon has yet to overcome his lifelong challenge of controlling his ball power. Last year, he pitched 29 innings in 16 games in the Futures League, allowing 32 walks. This was the reason why he ended up with two wins, four losses and one hold with an ERA of 9.31.

However, this year is also not off to a good start. Yoon Sung-bin took the mound as a relief pitcher in the top of the eighth inning when Lotte was trailing 4-10 in the 2025 Medi Hill KBO Futures League NC at Sangdong Stadium in Gimhae on the 2nd.

It was quite unusual from the start. Yoon, who had Kim Han-byeol, the leadoff hitter, with a straight walk, allowed Park Young-bin to throw balls at first or second pitches, and displayed unstable pitching by allowing six consecutive balls. The ball count reached 2B and 2S, but the result was also a walk.

Yoon, who had both batters walk, bowed his head after being hit by Ko Seung-wan's three-run homer to left. It was a 105-meter-long arch.

Yoon's pitching continued. After striking out Park Han-gyeol and holding his first out count, Yoon displayed signs of faltering ball control once again as he issued a straight walk to Oh Young-soo. When Yoon treated Song as a strikeout, he seemed to have no more leaping pitching, but he also issued a straight walk to Choi to continue pitching, which is far from stable.

Nevertheless, there were no additional runs. Yoon Sung-bin, who played a full count match with Kim Se-hoon, was able to end the inning by striking out swinging on the sixth pitch.

Yoon stopped pitching. Lotte put Park Se-hyun on the mound at the top of the ninth inning. Yoon had one hit and four walks, three strikeouts and three runs in one inning. He pitched a whopping 38 pitches.

Lotte lost the game 4-13. Starting pitcher Han Hyun-hee ended the game with five hits, two outs and three strikeouts and five runs (four earned runs) in five innings, while Koo Seung-min had two hits and two strikeouts and one run (non-earned) in one inning, while Jin Seung-hyun had one hit and three strikeouts and four runs (non-earned) in one inning, respectively. Park Se-hyun, who followed Yoon, struck out one during one inning, allowing one hit and no run.
