The first pitch that waited seven years was a fastball of 152km/h. The stands were in full swing. After the second fastball was inserted, cheers poured out when 154km appeared on the electronic display. It was worth waiting for seven years for KIA and seven years for Hong Won-bin. The result was one run in one inning, but Hong Won-bin's expression was overwhelming after the game.먹튀검증
The KIA Tigers beat the Doosan Bears 11-3 in the "2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. With the ninth inning 11-2, Kia has finally been able to put Lee on the mound. Hong Won-bin, the first-rounder of the 2019 draft who registered for the first team on April 30 but has yet to give him a chance to make his debut, has finally made his debut.
Hong Won-bin gave up a walk to the first batter, Kim Min-seok. The game could have been stretched with the score gap already widened, but the atmosphere in the stands was not. While Hong Won-bin gave up a walk, he lightly threw a fast ball over 150 kilometers per hour, keeping KIA fans focused on the game until the end.
He was not swayed by his single walk. After catching Lee Sun-woo with a fly ball to center field, he had a hit by Kim Dong-joon. Park changed his out count and score by catching him with a sacrifice fly to the left field. The highlight was the last one. Pinch hitter Kim In-tae struck out with a 140 kilometer per hour slider to end the game.
After the game, Hong Won-bin calmly talked about his path in front of numerous reporters. First of all, he said, "I think I proved that I haven't been sloppy in preparing for the past seven years. Thank you to the fans, the coach, and the team for waiting."
I concentrated on the game to the extent that I could hardly feel the spectators' support. So I was able to avoid being swayed by the first batter's walk. "I used to be a pitcher who gave me a lot of walks. I think it's all my experience," Hong said. "I've played a lot of games like that in the Futures League as well. Even coaches tell me not to try not to give walks but to get more strikeouts. So when I gave him a walk as the first batter, I thought about what to do next," he said.
"I always try to avoid walks as leadoff batters even if I give him walks (too bad). But I used to throw ridiculous pitches, but now I feel (about the strike zone) in my hands and I think I can keep my balance going forward because I gave him walks while throwing my pitches despite the tension," he said.
As he waited for his debut match for nearly a week, he wanted to play in the must-win group and protect his team's victory. "I thought he was so cool when I saw him throw the ball. I thought he was so cool that I almost thought he was sexy. It's a long time away now, but I want to play in more games as a must-win group someday," he said.
