(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Hyun-gu = American Professional Baseball (MLB) Toronto Blue Jays ace Ryu Hyun-jin (34) continued his good fight in the practice game.
Ryu Hyun-jin appeared in a simulation game held at the Toronto Spring Camp facility in Dunedin, Florida, USA on the 22nd (Korean time).
The US and Canadian media including MLB.com reported that Ryu Hyun-jin struggled with no loss in five innings that day.
Ryu Hyun-jin threw 77 balls, gave 3 hits and 1 walk, and got 5 strikeouts.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who won the demonstration game against the Detroit Tigers on the 16th with 4 innings and 4 strikeouts, has increased the number of pitches and pitching innings as planned 10 days before the opening of the regular league on April 2.
The Toronto club set a schedule for Ryu Hyun-jin to raise his pace in a practice game without participating in the demonstration game against the Philadelphia Phillies on the 21st and the New York Yankees on the 22nd.
In particular, the Yankees war was thoroughly avoided.
Toronto and the Yankees, in the American League East Division, compete 19 times in the regular league.
There was no reason to expose all of his power to the Yankees, so Toronto saved Ryu Hyun-jin to a practice match.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who has a strong appearance in the opening game of the regular league against the Yankees on April 2nd, is expected to throw 6 innings and raise the number of pitches to around 100 in the next actual appearance.
MLB.com predicted the opening game, saying that Toronto coach Charlie Monteyo didn’t announce the starting pitcher for the opening game, but Ryu Hyun-jin is moving perfectly in line with him.
Yankees ace Garrett Cole, who is expected to face off against Ryu Hyun-jin in the opening game, started on this day in a demonstration game against Toronto, striking out 8 strikeouts in 5 innings and struggling with one run.
