The possibility of a confrontation between Ryu Hyun-jin and Kim Gwang-hyun is slim… There is no schedule for a regular season
The opening game of 30 clubs at once on April 2… 162 matches return in 2 years
‘Korean Monster’ Ryu Hyun-jin (34, Toronto Blue Jays)’s first opponent in the regular season in 2021 was the New York Yankees.
The Secretariat of the American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) announced the regular season schedule for 2021 on the 12th (Korean time).
Toronto will play its official opening game at 3:05 am on April 2 at Yankee Stadium in New York, USA.
Toronto’s ace, Ryu Hyun-jin, is expected to start before the opening if there are no special events such as injury.
Ryu Hyun-jin was particularly sluggish against the Yankees after his big league debut, but broke Jinx in the last match against the Yankees last season.
On September 25 last year, he became a victorious pitcher with a scoreless 7 innings against the Yankees.
The Yankees are likely to score Ace Gerrit Cole as a starting game.
The composition of Ryu Hyun-jin and Cole’s starting confrontation is also interesting.
If Ryu Hyun-jin starts at the opening game this year, he will receive the starting game selection medal for 3 consecutive years.
He started for the 2019 team opening game when he played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he started in the opening game last year when he moved to Toronto.
The St. Louis Cardinals, played by Kim Kwang-hyun, will play the opening game with the Cincinnati Reds on the same day.
It is not known whether Kim Gwang-hyun will start with Cincinnati in the opening three games.
St. Louis, who played Cincinnati, played three straight matches against the Miami Marlins.
Ryu Hyun-jin and Kim Gwang-hyun’s first match-up scene is not expected to be seen this year.
The American League’s Toronto and the National League’s St. Louis have no plans for a confrontation this season.
Only available in the postseason.
The MLB debut opponent Kim Ha-sung, who joined the San Diego Padres, is likely to be the San Francisco Giants.
San Diego will play two games against San Francisco on the 2nd and 3rd at the opening home.
After that, he played three games against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Tampa Bay race of Choi Mann’s team will also play the opening game with Miami on April 2.
Meanwhile, this year’s 30 MLB teams will play the opening game all at once on April 2.
It is the first time since 1968 that the entire club has played the opening game at the same time.
Last season’s World Series winner, the Los Angeles Dodgers, played an opening match against the Colorado Rockies.
Each MLB club, which had a shortened season of 60 games last year due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), is expected to play 162 games in two years.
The All-Star Game will be held on July 14 at Suntrust Field in Atlanta, Georgia.
The’Field of Dreams’ game, which could not be played in the aftermath of Corona 19 last season, will be held on August 13 at a ballpark built in a cornfield in Diersville, Iowa.
As scheduled, the Chicago White Sox and the Yankees will face off against each other.
