[스포티비뉴스=고유라 기자] Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin is a veteran who prepares for the opening of the season with his own routine.
On the 16th (Korean time), Ryu Hyun-jin started with the Detroit Tigers in a demonstration game and threw 49 pitches (38 strikes + 11 balls), striking 4 innings, 2 hits, 4 strikeouts, 4 strikeouts and no loss. The maximum fastball speed has already been raised to 148 km. Ryu Hyun-jin scored one run in six innings in two matches.
Toronto coach Charlie Monteyo said in an online interview, “Hyunjin Ryu follows his program well. He doesn’t get away from it. Hyunjin Ryu knows what it takes to prepare for the big league season.” He conveyed the feeling of watching.
Teammate outfielder Jonathan Davies also said, “Ryu Hyun-jin clearly directs what he does on the mound. If you see him around the ballpark, he always has a specific schedule and is skilled in that schedule. The results can be seen on the mound.” .
Ryu Hyun-jin expressed satisfaction that the preparation for the opening was proceeding smoothly after starting the day, and said, “The beginning of the opening was not good last season. I don’t want to repeat the same thing this year.” Ryu Hyun-jin scored 1 loss and 9 innings and 8 runs in 2 matches since the opening last year. In particular, in the Tampa Bay Race on July 25, which was the first start after the transfer, and the opening match, 4⅔innings, 4 hits (1 home run) and 3 runs were regrettable for not being able to fill 5 innings.
Ryu Hyun-jin is known to have realized the importance of body care and other research once more since his injury in 2017, and after that, he made and kept a thorough program. However, last year, uncertainty about the suspension of the spring camp due to the Corona 19 virus and a delay of three months from the opening of the camp was overwhelmed. Ryu Hyun-jin is working harder than anyone else to show Ace mode again this year when his anxiety has disappeared.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who is slowly increasing the number of pitches by making additional pitches in the bullpen after each game appearance, is already heading for the opening game. Ryu Hyun-jin said, “I feel comfortable because I train on a normal schedule in a normal camp,” and expressed my anticipation for the opening of this season.
