Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles) predicted his performance this season.
Ryu Hyun-jin appeared as Hanwha's starting pitcher in a practice game against the KT Wiz at Kochida Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on the 26th.메이저놀이터
It started well. He tied Bae Jeong-dae to right field with a fly to right field in the top of the first inning, and Hwang struck out a rookie. He had a hit to the left by follow-up hitter Huh Kyung-min, but induced Moon Sang-chul to ground out to end the inning without allowing a run.
In the top of the second inning, he displayed his crisis management ability. He gave up a hit to left-center field to Oh Yoon-seok, but Kang struck out. He then led Song Min-seop to a 4-6-3 double play (second baseman-strike first baseman) to complete his mission.
His final score was two hits, two strikeouts and no run in two innings. The total number of pitches he pitched was 24, and the maximum speed of fastballs was measured up to 142 kilometers.
Ryu is a left-handed pitcher who represents Korean baseball in name and reality. Since his debut in the professional baseball league in 2006, he has recorded 108 wins, 60 losses, one save and an earned run average of 2.92 in 218 games (1427.1 innings) in the KBO League. In the U.S. Major League Baseball, he played 186 games (1,055.1 innings) and posted 78 wins, 48 losses, one save and an earned run average of 3.27.
Ryu proved his worth last year, the first season after returning from the big leagues. He played in 28 games (158.1 innings), recording 10-8 record with an ERA of 3.87. Since then, he showed off his presence by pitching well on the day as well.
In particular, Ryu's fast pace compared to last year's is another factor that raises expectations for Ryu's stellar performance this season. Ryu failed to perfect his physical condition during the offseason due to the lack of time he took to return to the KBO league last year. He had some difficulties in the early days of the season, probably due to the aftermath.
It is different this time. During the non-active period, he set up a mini-camp in Okinawa, Japan, and formed physical conditions with his juniors including Hwang Joon-seo, Jang Min-jae, Park Sang-won, and Joo Hyun-sang, and is also smoothly carrying out the second spring camp in Okinawa, Japan, following the first spring camp in Melbourne, Australia.
Having ranked eighth (66 wins, two draws and 76 losses) last year, the Hanwha Eagles is aiming higher this season, which ushers in a new stadium. To achieve this goal, the starting lineup consisting of Ryu Hyun-jin, Cordy Ponce, Ryan Weiss, Um Sang-baek and Moon Dong-ju should run smoothly. Ryu's mission is also critical. As the first starting pitcher, he should lead the starting lineup of the Hanwha Eagles. Attention is focusing on whether Ryu, who is improving his physical condition faster than last year, will be able to lead Hanwha's performance this year.
