“I’ll be a tricky hitter”

Samsung Lions outfielder Yoon Jung-bin got his first hit. He made his debut in a game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on March 23.

With the bases loaded and Samsung trailing 5-7 in the ninth inning, Yoon came to the plate and hit a four-seam fastball from Doosan’s Hong Gun-hee for a single to right field.안전놀이터

It was Yoon’s first hit in his professional debut, which is significant. It was also his first hit in five years since his debut in 2018.

Jung-bin Yoon has been a highly anticipated hitter since he joined the team. As a long-hitting outfielder, he was touted to be the centerpiece of Samsung’s batting order.

It wasn’t until last season that he made his first appearance in the first team. However, after going hitless in 10 at-bats last year, he went hitless in 16 at-bats until the 30th of last month.

Jung-bin Yoon has been struggling in secret, so his eagerness to get his first hit was extraordinary.

Commentating on Yoon’s first hit, Jung Min-cheol said, “It’s like watching Lee Seung-yeop’s playing days. When I played against him during my active career, he made a lot of cuts,” he said. Yoon Jung-bin also took a long time to get his first hit, but he has the same persistence as Lee Seung-yup.”

“He definitely looks like a player who will become a good hitter like Lee Seung-yup,” he said.

Yoon’s baseball watch is just beginning. Although he took a different path than other prospects, this is how his time to become a top player began.
