Up to 158km! 24-year-old native fireballer going to the second division in 2G across the country is going the way of Ahn Woo-jin, not Oh Seung-hwan

Kim Yoon-soo (25) of the Samsung Lions is one of the top Korean fire bowlers in the league. Analysts say he has the best fastball in the league along with his brother Kim Bum-soo (Hanwha Eagles).
However, the ball control is still in place. Is it because of the tension of his first appearance in the first team after being discharged from the military. He took the mound in the fourth inning after starting Danny Reyes against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 17th, but he allowed four walks in ⅔ innings and died himself. He had two walks on his own. The next pitcher Hwang Dong-jae allowed a grand slam to KIA Na Sung-bum, allowing as many as six runs and big innings. Of the total 24 pitches, there were only seven strikes.
He recorded one scoreless inning against KIA on the 18th, and was canceled from the first team on the 19th due to a new foreign player Cardenas and baton touch.

It is Kim Yoon-soo, who played as a bullpen to save his fast pace since his debut. However, coach Park Jin-man had a different opinion. Rather, he is a pitcher suitable for a starter who is less burdened with one ball and one ball control.
In 2022, he ordered Kim Yun-soo to switch to the starting lineup, and he pitched four scoreless innings against the Doosan Bears on Oct. 7. He also consistently started in the Futures League Sangmu this year. He played 74 innings in 14 games with 8 wins and 3 losses with a 2.43 ERA.
"I think it's similar to our Lee Seung-hyun (left hand). I think it would be better to use it as a starter because the ball is very good and has a little ups and downs in the short term. "For the time being, we will continue to prepare for starters at Futures."

Will Kim Yoon-soo be able to repay the trust of the head coach.
