"I had the best ball in Korea." Even with a 160-kilometer fastball, ERA 12.00, Lotte's 1st place name "Why on earth" is shaking... The head coach also lamented

The head coach also expressed regret over the super-large prospect, which is hard to grasp.

Ahead of the exhibition game against the Doosan Bears at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 19th, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said, "Yoon Sung-bin should have confidence. I called him and told him to go down if he was not confident. "If you have the best ball in Korea and you still show your uncertainty..." he lamented.

Yoon Sung-bin is a right-hander who joined Lotte as the first designation of the 2017 KBO Rookie Draft after graduating from Dongil Jungang Elementary School, Gyeongnam Middle School, and Busan High School. It was called the future of Korea by throwing a ball up to 160 kilometers per hour with a sturdy build of 197 centimeters and weight of 90 kilograms.

However, he has not stood out with a 7.54 ERA in 52 games in the first team so far, entering his 10th year of debut. However, under the belief of head coach Kim Tae-hyung last year, he steadily confirmed his potential in the first team. With one win and two losses and a 7.67 ERA in 31 games and 44 strikeouts in 27 innings, the ball itself was confirmed.

This year, when expectations were higher, he still does not believe in his credit. He has shown a lot of ups and downs with a 12.00 ERA in three exhibition games and three walks, two strikeouts and four runs in three innings.

Head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, "If the coach says he's going to write it, he's going to write it, but I don't know if he's so worried. Don't you have the best ball in Korea. It was the best when I threw up to 160 kilometers per hour and fell sharply last year," he said.

"I don't think it's a technical problem. Overall, it's not as good as it is to hit the ball yet. Fork balls are also falling out little by little. I know that it is not easy to get the maximum restraint at this time. Still, you have to throw it in the middle of 150km by now, but it still stays at 151~2. He said, "You should throw it with confidence to see if you have any feeling of getting caught at your fingertips yet."
