No worries about ‘Ko Ja-wook injury + Oh Jae-il sluggishness’… ‘Park Jin-man’s choice’ finally exploded
Samsung is not worried about Koo Ja-wook’s injury and Oh Jae-il’s slump. ‘Park Jin-man’s Choice’ Yoon Jeong-bin finally exploded.
Samsung Lions Yoon Jeong-bin played as first baseman in the 9th hitter in the away game against the Hanwha Eagles in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park on the 4th, and played an active part with 2 hits, 2 points and 1 walk in 3 at-bats.토토사이트
Although Samsung lost 5-10 in the 5th inning with Hanwha’s pinch hitter Lee Jin-young getting hit with a wedge, they managed to find one solid hitter with ‘starness’.
On this day, Yoon Jeong-bin continued his good hitting feeling from his first at-bat in the 3rd inning. He pulled the 2nd pitch slider of Hanwha starter Sanchez in the situation of 1st out and 1st base and decorated the hit that landed in front of the right fielder. Then, he stepped home when the follow-up hitter, Pirella, hit at the right time.
In the 5th inning, he stepped up as the lead batter and walked out, creating a scoring opportunity. Afterwards, he settled on third base with a hit by Kim Hyeon-jun and a ball hit by Kim Dong-yeop, and scored an extra point when Kang Min-ho hit a heavy hit.
Yoon Jeong-bin’s streak of on-base continued until the middle of the game. In the 6th inning as the lead batter, he hit a 153km/h fastball from pitcher Kim Seo-hyun, who had changed, and made a hit that landed in front of the center fielder. With this, Yoon Jung-bin created his first multi-hit game in his professional debut. He retired on a grounder to shortstop in the last 7 at-bat.
It is Yoon Jeong-bin who finally reciprocated director Park Jin-man’s opportunity and expectation. He graduated from Bucheon Middle School and Bucheon High School and joined Samsung in 2018.
At the beginning of his debut, Yoon Jeong-bin received attention as a next-generation ‘prospect for big guns’, such as being evaluated as “not being pushed by Kang Baek-ho when compared with power” over kt Wiz Kang Baek-ho, a classmate in middle school.
But it took some time. Until the 23rd of last month, he continued to be silent in 16 at-bats in the first team. Later, on the 24th, he recorded his first hit in his debut at the bat as a pinch hitter against Doosan in Jamsil. He found his confidence.
Yoon Jeong-bin, who has been constantly looking for opportunities, hit his first home run in his debut on the 3rd and even made a multi-hit that day, creating hope for his starting player. His season performance also raised his batting average to 0.294 (5 hits in 17 at-bats) and OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.839.
In addition, Ja-wook Koo, who was the main outfielder, was canceled from the first team due to a muscle injury on the back of his thigh, and first baseman Jae-il Oh, who fell into a sluggish batting average of 0.174, is Yoon Jeong-bin, who secured future opportunities.
Yoon Jeong-bin is 24 years old this year. Even though it blooms late, it shows a more splendid appearance. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to grow into Samsung’s new central hitter.
