Yoon Seong-bin of the Lotte Giants may be one of the rookies getting attention this season. But he is still not yet satisfied with any of his performances.

“The KBO is a stage to fulfill my role, not to improve my skills,” Yoon said.

In the six baseball games Yoon has started thus far, he has picked up a win and two losses. Also, he has an ERA of 5.16. Though Yoon’s statistics aren’t the best, he has been a big contributor to the team while filling the absence of pitcher Park Se-woong. During his first five games, Yoon did not give up more than three runs and pitched five innings on average. Even when the Giants were losing, he minimized his mistakes to give the team space to catch up in the remaining innings.

Yoon Seong-bin to improve his pitching

Yoon was the Giants’ first pick at the 2017 KBO rookie draft. She was considered a top prospect and received attention from MLB clubs as well as the KBO. Despite expectations, Yoon wasn’t able to play during the 2017 season due to a shoulder injury. The year of absence minimized Yoon’s chances of taking the mound in the KBO, but he earned his spot on the pitching rotation during spring training thanks to Park’s absence after an injury.

“I don’t want to be rushed,” Yoon said. “I believe that I need more experience to have better control of my pitches. My goal is to play in the professional league for as long as I can without getting injured.”
