NC Dinos super talent Shin Young-woo is growing by storm.
He thrilled NC fans with two consecutive strong performances in the Futures League.
Shin Young-woo pitched brilliantly for the second straight game in the Futures League against Samsung at Masan Baseball Stadium on April 24. In five innings, he threw 89 pitches against 19 batters, allowing no hits, 11 walks, and three strikeouts. Tops out at 153 mph, averages 147 mph. His 150-kilometer fastball, which is easily sprayed, and his big curveball, which falls like a waterfall, had the Samsung batters, many of whom have first-team experience, scrambling. In a short period of time, the team’s ability to handle batters in a relaxed manner, even in crisis situations, improved.토토사이트
In the top of the first inning, Shin Young-woo hit Lee Sung-kyu with a fly ball to left field, then gave up a single to Kim Dong-jin on a changeup. He struck out Yang Woo-hyun on a full count with a 153-kilometer fastball. A stolen base put runners on first and second. Kim Ho-jae grounded out to shortstop on a changeup to end the first inning.
In the top of the second, he struck out leadoff hitter Oh Hyun-seok. He allowed a walk and a stolen base to Kim Sang-min, but struck out Cho Min-sung and Ryu Seung-min in succession.
In the top of the third, the strikeout parade continued.
Lee Byung-hun, Lee Sung-kyu, and Kim Dong-jin, all of whom have first-team experience, were retired on K-K-K. He was frozen by a fastball and a big curveball.
Lee struck out Lee Byung-heon with a 131-kilometer fastball, Lee Sung-gyu with a 130-kilometer fastball, and Kim Dong-jin with a 132-kilometer fastball.

In the top of the fourth inning, Shin struck out the leadoff batter, Yang Woo-hyun, with a 142-kilometer fastball. Retired six straight batters. Allowed a walk to Kim Ho-jae. He walked Oh Hyun-seok and gave up back-to-back singles to Kim Sang-min to put runners on first and second. However, the runners were thrown out at second base to end the inning.
In the top of the fifth, Cho Min-sung induced a swinging strikeout with a big changeup, but a wild pitch allowed a runner to advance to first for the final out. He struck out Ryu Seung-min with a hard curveball. Lee Byung-heon flied out to center field on a 150-kilometer fastball. Lee struck out Lee Sung-kyu with a 151-kilometer fastball. He struck out the 11th batter. He threw 89 pitches. 53 for strikes. Shin Young-woo took over the mound from Park Joo-hyun in the sixth inning with a 6-0 lead.
In a Futures League game against KIA at Masan Baseball Stadium on April 14, Shin threw 82 pitches over seven innings, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out one. He topped out at 153 mph and averaged 148 mph. After that game, I felt a lot more confident. I felt more relaxed on the mound. I think I’m getting ready to be called up to the first team sooner rather than later.
