He is also a player with many stories. Yoon San-heum joined the Doosan Bears in 2019, but was notified of his release the following year. Yoon San-heum continued his career with the independent baseball team Scorebone Hianas, and signed a contract with Hanwha in June 2021 as a training player. Yoon San-heum, who returned to the professional league, showed rapid growth. He has been reborn as a ‘pitcher’ who not only improves his speed but also has the ability to manage the game.

Yoon San-heum, who blossomed at Hanwha, recorded an average ERA of 2.67 with 1 win, 1 loss and 3 holds in 33⅔ innings in 37 games last season.

Yoon San-heum is in his 2nd year with the 1st team. On the 28th, in an exhibition match against Samsung Lions held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, he recorded 1 inning, 1 strikeout and no run, and finished the final mock test. His highest speed was 150 km. Yoon San-heum, who met with SpotTV News after the game, smiled brightly, saying, “The restraints came out well, and the control was good. I’m satisfied.”

He focused on building up his size during the off-season. As a result of constant weight training, his weight increased to 80 kg. He was able to put more power into his throw when he threw the ball. Yoon San-heum expressed his confidence, saying, “I gained more strength through weight training. Last year, the maximum speed was 150km, but this year, I think 153km is possible.”

He vowed to take a step forward based on his experience last year. Rather than being greedy, he set realistic goals. Yoon San-heum said, “I’m not very greedy. If coach Carlos Subero tells me to throw, I will go to the game and pitch. My specific goal is 50 innings. Then I think other records will follow.”

His long hair, which was his trademark, was also cut short. His mood changed drastically. Yoon San-heum concluded the interview by saying, “I have changed my image. I will not grow my hair for the time being. I also found the right size for my hat. I don’t think my hat will come off after throwing a ball like last year.”
