“Unfortunately, Ryu Hyun-jin returned to the mound in the 6th inning.”
The American media ‘Jace Journal’ pointed out on the 3rd (Korean time) that the replacement timing of Ryu Hyun-jin (Toronto, 36) was one beat late.
Ryu Hyun-jin made a comeback on the 2nd. Since June 2, 2022 he has been on the major league mound in 426 days. He became the losing pitcher in five innings and four runs against the division-leading Baltimore Orioles. The team lost 3-13.
In fact, his comeback itself was encouraging. Ryu Hyun-jin underwent Tommy John surgery (elbow ligament splicing) at the age of looking into his late 30s. Rehabilitation lasts from 18 to 24 months, but Ryu Hyun-jin came back relatively quickly.
It was more welcome because Toronto was fighting fiercely for rankings at the cut line to advance to the postseason.토토사이트
However, the results of the match were not. Ryu Hyun-jin endured well with 3 runs until the 5th inning. He was substituted after being hit with a home run by the leading batter in the sixth inning.
The Jays Journal said, ‘Baltimore is one of the teams that boasts a hot hitting. If Ryu Hyun-jin only allowed 3 runs in 5 innings, most fans would have accepted the result. Ryu Hyun-jin did it,” he said positively.
The problem was then. Jace Journal said, ‘Ryu Hyun-jin got 8 hits and gave 3 points until the 5th inning. Coach John Schneider (Toronto) is famous for his ruthless quick hooks this season. After the 5th episode, I should have shook hands with Ryu Hyun-jin and ended the night in a good mood.” From the 6th inning, it is a story that he should have turned the bullpen.
The Jace Journal said, ‘Unfortunately, Ryu Hyun-jin returned to the mound in the 6th inning. He faced Gunnar Henderson, one of the hottest young hitters right now. Henderson crossed the right fence and made Ryu Hyun-jin’s night gloomy.”
Ryu Hyun-jin left expectations and tasks at the same time. His fine control remained, but his overall speed decreased. Jace Journal said, ‘It’s not all bad news. Ryu Hyun-jin induced 5 swings with a curve. The hitting speed of the breaking ball and the changeup were 80.7 miles and 85.5 miles, respectively.”
