Hong Won-bin took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning with an 11-2 lead against Doosan in Jamsil on the 3rd. It was Hong Won-bin's dream first-team debut stage in his seventh year of joining the team. Hong Won-bin finished his debut with one hit, one walk, one strikeout and one run in one inning as he caught the attention of KIA fans with a fast ball of 150 kilometers per hour.
"I was so focused on the game that I couldn't feel the cheers from fans. I wasn't as happy as I thought I would," Miso said. "When I rested at the dorm (after joining the first team), I could only think about when I would take the mound. The atmosphere (in the stadium) remained the same as I imagined. I prepared while doing image training, and I was able to throw my ball because it was similar to the stage I dreamed of." "I'm the most grateful to my parents for their long wait, who started playing baseball since I was 11 years old," said Hong, whose family lives in Seoul also visited the stadium. "I'm grateful to everyone for proving that I didn't waste seven years preparing."
Hong Won-bin, who was born in 2000, was selected as the 10th in the second round of the 2019 rookie draft and has been recognized for his potential. The weapon is a fast and heavy ball that comes out of an outstanding physical condition of 195 centimeters tall and 101 kilograms in weight.
However, ball control has always been a problem. His overall performance in the secondary league is 5 wins, 18 losses, six saves and an earned run average of 10.48 in 51 games. In three games in the secondary league, he allowed 11 walks and two pitches in 1.1 innings, failing to address his chronic weaknesses.
In order to achieve a breakthrough, he spent his own money to go to the U.S. for training last winter. Did he see such desperation work? In this year's second division, Hong has posted three wins, three losses, six saves and an earned run average of 2.79. While pitching in 19.1 innings in 20 games, he still has 18 walks and six pitches, but has also garnered 17 strikeouts.
Hong's favorite is Yordano Ventura of the Dominican Republic, a fastball pitcher who threw 164 kilometers per hour in the U.S. Major League. Ventura, who has 38 wins in the Major League, died in an unexpected car accident at the age of 25 in 2017. Hong will take the mound with Ventura's name written on the inside of his cap. He also has Ventura's 30 jersey numbers.
Hong was first registered in the first team roster on April 30 and acquired the opportunity to take the mound in five days. This is the beginning for Hong, who still has a lot to prove. "He looks so cool that he looks sexy when he throws the must-win pitching team. My goal is to play more games to win the must-win group someday," Hong said. When asked who is the sexiest player in the group, he replied, "(Former) Sang-hyun."
