Ace pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin of the US Major League (MLB) Toronto Blue Jays won his first demonstration game this season with a perfect pitch.
Ryu Hyun-jin started a demonstration game against Detroit in the 2021 American professional baseball major league held at the Joker Merchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida, USA on the 16th.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who showed perfect skill without giving out a single round of shoots, won the first start this year as the team won 4-0. Ryu Hyun-jin also lowered the average ERA in this year’s demonstration game from 4.50 to 1.50 (one run in six innings).
Ryu Hyun-jin said with a bright expression, “I am preparing for the regular season well. This year, I will stand on the mound with a well-prepared state from the first game,” he said with a bright expression.
However, it is still unclear whether Ryu Hyun-jin will stand on the starting game mound with the New York Yankees on the 2nd of next month. Toronto coach Charlie Monteyo avoided a definite answer to the possibility of starting pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin in the opening game, saying, “We still have two weeks left, so we will watch the situation.”
There are currently no pitchers in the opening game that can outperform Ryu Hyun-jin among the Toronto starting pitchers, so the dubious answer of manager Montyoyo is interpreted as a kind of’smoke operation’.
It is seen as an intention not to give as much information as possible to the Yankees competing for postseason qualifiers.
If Toronto selects Ryu Hyun-jin as the starting pitcher for the opening game and starts pitching according to the current pitching schedule, he will be in the first regular league game after finishing the demonstration game against Philadelphia on the 21st and Detroit on the 26th.
