‘Korean Monster’ Ryu Hyun-jin (34, Toroto Blue Jays) checked all the pitches that could be thrown while playing 2 innings in his first real match. Even though he allowed one home run, he wasn’t in bad shape. It is an analysis that he focused on preparing for the regular season without a hitch by increasing the number of pitches as planned, rather than the results.
Ryu Hyun-jin started a demonstration game against the Baltimore Orioles in the 2021 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) held at Dunedin TD Ball Park in Florida, USA on the 6th (Korean time), 2 innings, 1 hit (1 home run), 2 strikeouts, 1 walk, 1 run. Recorded. The number of pitches was 30, and the highest limit for a four-seam fastball was 89.8 miles per hour (about 145 km).
Ryu Hyun-jin said in a non-face-to-face video interview with the reporter after finishing his first demonstration game, “I am preparing well as I have done so far.” “I threw 2 innings in the game, and 15 more in the bullpen, and then 3 innings. “We are preparing for the season well by increasing the number of pitches continuously.”
Ryu Hyun-jin blocked the first inning with a tripartite in 9 pitches, but allowed one home run (Pat Balaika) and one walk (Ramon Urias) in the second inning and showed a somewhat shaking.
Ryu Hyun-jin said, “It was good for the first game. There were a lot of strikes and I hit a home run, but that was a mistake. I think the batter hit it well. Overall, it was so good for the first start.”
He said, “The ball thrown similarly to the strike zone was judged to be a ball,” he said. “Except for one home run, there is no problem with the rest,” he showed a relaxed appearance.
Ryu Hyun-jin said, “I think the important thing in the demonstration game is the number of innings and pitches.” I prepared with the focus,” he said. He said, “I threw all the pitches I can throw today,” he said. “There is no increase in pitches this season. However, we need to increase the number of pitches.”
Ryu Hyun-jin introduced that he prepared two bullpen pitching and two live pitching prior to the first appearance of the demonstration game on this day.
He said, “I prepared the same way as last year. There was no difficulty.”
