Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

Jeong Sang-Bin is a 24-year-old central midfielder at St. Louis City, rated 35.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 208th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sang-Bin.

Judged on this season alone, Sang-Bin graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.108 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 26th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 24 Sang-Bin is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Sang-Bin missed 3 games through injury (personal reasons, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

1.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.8, Sang-Bin carries the 26th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (St. Louis City finished 13th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
