Up to 148㎞·Average 146㎞… Ryu Hyun-jin recovers from fastball arrest

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Nam-jik Han = MLB.com analyzed the pitching of Hyun-jin Ryu (34, Toronto Blue Jays) and said, “It seems that we have already prepared the opening game of the regular season.”

Fastball redemption is faster than last year’s regular season.

Ryu Hyun-jin started a demonstration game against Detroit in the 2021 American Professional Baseball Major League held at the Lakeland Public Fields at Joker Merchant Stadium in Florida, USA on the 16th (Korean time). He struck out four, and did not allow a single shootout.

As the team won 4-0, Ryu Hyun-jin also won the first start this year.

MLB.com said, “There wasn’t even a crisis like this. In particular, Ryu Hyun-jin’s changeup was really sharp.”

What stands out more is Ryu Hyun-jin’s fastball restraint.

On this day, Ryu Hyun-jin threw 18 fastballs. Ryu Hyun-jin’s highest fastball restraint, measured by the Baseball Servant, was 92.2 miles per hour (about 148 km), and his average restraint was 90.5 miles per hour (about 146 km).

Ryu Hyun-jin is not the type of pitcher who presses the batter with’restraint’. He throws a variety of pitches accurately and cleverly and cooks the batter.

However, when the fastball restraints fall, Ryu Hyun-jin’s changing ball also loses strength.

The Athletic recalled Ryu Hyun-jin’s pitching last year, and pointed out that “Ryu Hyun-jin’s average fastball arrest fell from 90.6 miles per hour (about 146 km) in 2019 to 89.6 miles (about 144 km) in 2020.”

“Ryu Hyun-jin performed worse in a game where the fast-ball restraint deteriorated,” he said. “While he gave 23 hits and 13 ERA in 3 games (including the postseason) that took 88 miles per hour or less on a fastball average In 10 games with more than 89 miles per hour (about 143 km), only 45 hits and 10 ERA were allowed.”

Last year, the US Major League started the regular season on July 24 in the aftermath of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

Even for veteran Ryu Hyun-jin, the spring camp was stopped, and after a short summer camp after a long period of personal training, I felt uncomfortable with the schedule of holding the regular season.

This year, the major leagues are running smoothly in the spring camp.

Ryu Hyun-jin said, “Last year, the spring camp was stopped once, and shortly prepared in the summer camp and started the regular season,” recalling Ryu Hyun-jin on the 16th. “I am preparing very well now. Training as scheduled.” Hani, it’s easy to take care of your body,” he said.

After training comfortably, the fastball restraint has also returned to the level of 2019.

Toronto coach Charlie Monteyo said, “It feels like Ryu Hyun-jin is throwing a stronger ball than last year. The restraint has also risen.”

In 2020, Ryu Hyun-jin played an active part as a top-notch pitcher in the big leagues enough to rise to third place in the American League Cy Young’s voting even with’slower than before’.

In 2021, when he regains his fastball restraint, the expectation for Ryu Hyun-jin increases.
