Ace Ryu Hyun-jin (34) of the Toronto Blue Jays of the American Professional Baseball (MLB) ranked 50th in the top 100 ranking of the sports cable channel ESPN.

In the ranking of players ranked 50 to 26 on the Internet website of ESPN on the 24th (Korean time), Ryu Hyun-jin rose to the 50th place from 94th last year.

ESPN said that Ryu Hyun-jin continued to be successful enough to be mentioned as the best starting pitcher in the majors even last year, his first season in Toronto. It was said that Toronto’s action of investing a large sum of $10 million proved valid.

In particular, the hope for Toronto’s leap forward as a team that challenges the American League championship rests on Ryu Hyun-jin’s shoulders, hoping for further progress this season.

Infielder Bo Bisset, who began to blossom his potential as a second-generation baseball player as Ryu Hyun-jin’s colleague, climbed to 41st place.

The St.Louis Cardinals’ opening pitcher Jack Flaherty ranked 38th, and San Diego Padres’ one-two punch Darvish You and Blake Snell ranked 37th and 36th, respectively.

Outfielder George Springer in Toronto uniform was 28th on an astronomical sum of $150 million for six years as a free agent.
