Third in the catcher's list. Son Sung-bin, a 22-year-old catcher of Young-gun, led the team to five consecutive wins with three hits.
The Lotte Giants won the game against the Hanwha Eagles 6-4 at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th, winning five consecutive games. Foreign starting pitcher Wilkerson pitched seven innings on the mound. Lotte, which is aiming to leap to the top, is on a strong winning run at the end of the first half ahead of the All-Star Game break.
Lotte's backup catcher Son Sung-bin has recently started as the main player. Lotte excluded its main catcher Yoo Kang-nam and Information Geun from the first-team entry on the 19th. 8 billion FA catcher Yoo Kang-nam, who is in charge of Lotte's home turf, does not play much this season due to injuries and sluggishness.
Information-geun, who played as a backup for Yoo Kang-nam, also played a surprise two-homer game against Jamsil LG on the 15th, but was excluded from the first-team entry with Yoo Kang-nam due to poor performance.
Lotte has recently given young catchers Seo Dong-wook and Son Sung-bin a chance. With both of the main catchers missing, Seo Dong-wook and Son Sung-bin took turns starting.
Among them, Son Sung-bin's performance stands out. Son Sung-bin, born in 2002, is a prospect for catcher who joined Lotte as the first designated player in 2021.
Son, who is 186 cm tall and weighs 92 kg, made his professional debut by playing 20 games in the 2021 season. Son Sung-bin, who joined the Sangmu Baseball Team in 2022 and completed his military service early, returned to Lotte in 23 seasons and gained experience in 45 games.
This season, he also played as the third-ranked backup catcher behind Yoo Kang-nam and Information Geun.

Son Sung-bin contributed to the team's victory by playing three hits, including the final hit, against Hanwha on the 28th. Son Sung-bin, who started as the ninth hitter catcher, doubled in his first at-bat in the bottom of the third inning and got on base to create a chance. He also scored when Yoon Dong-hee hit an infield grounder on the second and third bases with no outs.
In the fourth inning, he hit an RBI timely hit that called in Park Seung-wook after Park Seung-wook's RBI-tying double. It was the final shot that turned the game around 4-3. In the seventh inning, he made another hit and made a three-hit game.
