[서울신문] Ryu Hyun-jin reports first win with 4 strikeouts and 4 strikeouts with 2 hits in 4 innings

Ryu Hyun-jin (Toronto Blue Jays) played a perfect pitch and won the first major league demonstration this year. On the 16th, Ryu Hyun-jin started in the 2021 US Professional Baseball Major League demonstration game against the Detroit Tigers held at the Lakeland Public Fields at Joker Merchant Stadium in Florida, USA on the 16th. The number of pitches was 49 and the maximum redemption was 148 km.

Ryu Hyun-jin became a victorious pitcher as Toronto beat Detroit 4-0 thanks to Jonathan Davis’ home run in the first inning.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who went out to the demonstration game ten days after the Baltimore Orioles match (2 innings, 1 home run, 1 goal) on the 6th, blocked the Detroit batting line with a perfect ball. He threw a fastball, changeup, cutter, and curve exactly to the course he wanted.

Ryu Hyun-jin did not allow even one batter on base until the end of the second inning. At the end of the first inning, Victor Reyes and Jamer Candelario were striking out in a curve. Robbie Grossman stepped back with a floating ball in right field.

At the end of the second inning, he ended the inning lightly with a beomta. Miguel Cabrera went out with a foul fly at first base, Niko Goodrum went out with a right field fly, and Wilson Ramos went out with a shortstop ground ball.

At the end of the 3rd inning, he threw a changeup at Will Castro, allowed his first hit, and was hit by Norma Majara in a row. It was a crisis of the first and second bases. He grabbed Isaac Paredis with a single ball in the right field, then threw a sharp change-up to turn Reyes and Candelario back into missed swing strikeouts.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who also reached the mound at the end of the 4th inning, caught 3 asp counts with 7 balls. Grossman was out with a straight stroke at first base, and Cabrera and Goodrum also retreated with a ground ball in the field.

Ryu Hyun-jin’s average ERA in the demonstration game improved from 4.50 to 1.50. The only concession was the home run by Pat Balaika in the match against Baltimore on the 6th. On the 11th, he skipped the Battle of Baltimore and raised the sense of actual battle through the Cheongbaek Battle.
