Home runs allowed for the first appearance in three demonstration games out of the last four years
I don’t care about the performance of the demonstration game and focus on maintaining the pace.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Kyung-yoon = Korean monster Ryu Hyun-jin (34, Toronto Blue Jays) hit a home run in the first appearance of the demonstration game this year.
Ryu Hyun-jin started against the Baltimore Orioles in the US Pro Baseball Major League (MLB) demonstration game held at Dunedin TD Ball Park in Florida, USA on the 6th (Korean time) and recorded 2 innings, 1 hit (1 home run), 2 strikeouts, 1 walk, and 1 run. .
He allowed home runs three times in the last four years, following 2018 and 2020, in his first appearance in a demonstration game.
Considering the fact that the first game of the demonstration game is about 1-2 innings, it is a very large number.
Ryu Hyun-jin threw a total of 7⅔ innings over the past four years, hitting 3 homers. He hit 0.391 home runs per inning.
Compared to the regular season performance, the difference is big. Ryu Hyun-jin gave 78 home runs in 807⅓ innings in MLB, so the number of home runs per inning is only 0.097.
Ryu Hyun-jin has allowed home runs more than four times the average of the regular season in the first game of the demonstration game over the past four years.
Ryu Hyun-jin’s first appearance in MLB’s previous demonstration games is also not very good.
He joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in February 2013 with the Chicago White Sox, throwing one inning in his first appearance and allowing one hit.
In 2014, he also faced the White Sox, giving him two hits in two innings.
The only time Ryu Hyun-jin did not give up a single hit in the first appearance of the demonstration game was the San Diego Padres match in March 2015.

However, there is no need to worry about Ryu Hyun-jin’s first slowdown in the demonstration game.
He always prepared for the regular season like a fox.
He prepared for the opening game by raising his body at his own pace without paying attention to his surroundings.
In the demonstration game, he always threw a low-restrained ball without being overwhelmed, and showed his best appearance in the regular season.
The performance of the first game of the demonstration game and that of the regular season are completely different.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who scored 4 runs including a home run in 2⅔ innings in the first match against the Colorado Rockies in March 2018, recorded an average ERA of 1.97 with a 7-2 loss that year.
In February 2019, he scored a hit in his first exhibition match against the Los Angeles Angels, but he took the first place in the MLB’s overall ERA with 14-5 losses that year.
In the first game of the demonstration game against the Minnesota Twins in February last year, when he moved to Toronto, he scored 3 hits including a home run in 2 innings and scored 1 goal.In the regular season, he was 5-2 and recorded an ERA of 2.69, making him the final candidate for American League Cy Young. Climbed.
On the other hand, in 2015, when the only hits were not allowed in the first game of the demonstration game, he was unable to play a single game in the regular season due to a shoulder injury.
This is the reason why Hyun-jin Ryu’s prospects for that year should not be expected from the results of the demonstration game.
Ryu Hyun-jin literally throws’fluttering’ in a demonstration game. Moderate adjustment is very important to digest one season in the big league of the 162 game system, but in the demonstration game, we focus only on physical condition management.
Ryu Hyun-jin also advised Japanese pitcher Sun Yamaguchi (now San Francisco Giants) who first stepped into the big league last year, saying, “If you throw a lot of balls from the demonstration game, it will be a big deal.”
Ryu Hyun-jin recorded 145 km/h, the fastest fastball game against Baltimore that day. It is more than 5km slower than the regular season’s direct ball arrest. It means that it wasn’t too much.
