Ryu Hyun-jin (34, Toronto Blue Jays), who had been hiding in the air, will appear in the second demonstration game in 10 days. The opponent is the Detroit Tigers.
Ryu Hyun-jin was announced as a Toronto starting pitcher in the 2021 Major League demonstration against Detroit held at the Public Fields at Joker Merchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida, USA on the 16th. In Detroit, left-hander Matthew Boyd starts.
On the 6th, Ryu Hyun-jin started this year’s first demonstration game against the Baltimore Orioles and recorded one hit (one home run), one walk, two strikeouts, and one run in two innings. 30 balls were thrown. Ryu Hyun-jin, who finished his first demonstration game at TD Ball Park in Dunedin, Florida, USA, home stadium, did not appear in the actual game afterwards. As scheduled, on the 11th, he had to appear in an away demonstration game against Baltimore, but instead of going on the road, he played in the team blue match at home and threw 50 pitches in three innings.
He said, “I don’t think there is a need to show a lot of things to the team in the same district,” and “the goal is to raise the number of pitches to 100 pitches in the camp.”
Reporter Ben Wagner of the Canadian media’Sportsnet’ said, “Ryu Hyun-jin is going on an expedition against Detroit.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who is preparing for the opening by gradually increasing the number of pitching and innings, is expected to throw more than 4 innings in this start.
