Contract and left the LA Dodgers to join Toronto.

Ryu Hyun-jin made a good start by ranking third in the American League Cy Young Award with 5 wins, 2 losses, and a 2.69 ERA in 12 games in the 2020 season, which was the first year of his transfer to Toronto and a shortened season. The following year, he was somewhat shaken in the second half, but he helped the mound as a full-time starter with a 4.37 ERA in 31 games, 14 wins, 10 losses, and 169 innings. 안전 토토사이트

Since June last year, Ryu Hyun-jin has been absent for a long time after undergoing Tommy John Surgery (elbow ligament reconstruction surgery). Since then, he has returned to the big league mound after 426 days against the Baltimore Orioles on the 2nd of last month and is showing off his robustness.

Ryu Hyun-jin has three wins, one loss, and a 2.25 ERA in 24 innings with 20 strikeouts and a WHIP (on-base percentage per inning) of 1.00 in five games he has pitched so far. It is the fourth-lowest ERA among pitchers who started at least five times in the American League last month. In addition, he has recently recorded three consecutive wins, raising his momentum.

"Considering Ryu Hyun-jin's recovery period after surgery last year, there was a possibility that he could not throw the ball again in Toronto," the Jays Journal said. However, Ryu Hyun-jin recovered, and he was really good after his return," he praised.

"With some question marks in the team's starting lineup next season, Ryu Hyun-jin, who has shown strong pitching so far, is creating a possibility of renewing his contract," he added.

Ryu Hyun-jin will make his sixth start of the season against the "2023 Major League" Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, on the 2nd. Coors Field, where Ryu Hyun-jin will take the mound, is famous as a batter-friendly stadium among 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. Coors Field is characterized by a lot of long hits due to low air resistance in the highlands. It is also called the "grave of pitchers."

Ryu Hyun-jin has recorded one win, four losses, and a 7.09 ERA in 26⅔ innings in six games at Coors Field since his big league debut. This shows that Ryu Hyun-jin struggled that much with the highest ERA in more than five games. However, if he shows his skills at Coors Field, Ryu Hyun-jin's value is likely to rise.

Meanwhile, Toronto will support George Springer (right fielder), Davis Schneider (third baseman), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (first baseman), Brandon Belt (nominated hitter), Danny Janson (catcher), Whit Merrifield (second baseman), Dalton Basho (left fielder), Ernie Clement (shortstop), Kevin Kiemeyer (middle fielder).

On the other hand, Colorado's starting pitcher is Chris Flexen, who was called the KBO League reverse export myth because he played for the Doosan Bears. Flexen went through the Seattle Mariners and New York Mets in a slump this year, and later settled in Colorado. This year's performance is 1 win, 6 losses, 72⅔ innings with an ERA of 6.94 57 strikeouts and WHIP 1.73.

Colorado consists of Charlie Blackman (right fielder), Ezekiel Toba (shortstop), Elias Diaz (catcher), Ryan McMan (third baseman), Brandon Rogers (second baseman), Hunter Goodman (nominated hitter), Nolan Jones (left fielder), Eloris Montero (first baseman) and Brenton Doyle (center fielder).
