Toronto Blue Jays Ryu Hyun-jin (36) is imminent to return to the major leagues.
Ryu Hyun-jin started in a match against the Triple-A Syracuse Mets (under the New York Mets) held at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse, New York, USA on the 22nd (Korean time) and recorded 3 hits (2 homers), 1 walk, 5 strikeouts and 2 runs in 6 innings.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who is in his final season in Toronto this year, is working hard to return from the Tommy John surgery he received in June last year. In the minor league rehabilitation, he is raising expectations by achieving good results with 2 wins and an average ERA of 2.00 in 4 games (18 innings).
Toronto is running 7th in the starting ERA (3.88). It’s not a bad performance, but the need for reinforcement of starting pitchers has been raised due to Alec Manoa’s sluggishness and Kevin Gausman’s injury.바카라사이트
Ryu Hyun-jin recorded 85 pitches that day and finished the final inspection to pitch as a starting pitcher in the major leagues by digesting 6 innings. His highest fastball velocity was 90.8 miles per hour (146.1 km), and his average velocity was 88.4 miles (142.3 km), somewhat recovering to pre-injury levels.
American media CBS Sports said, “Ryu Hyun-jin threw 85 pitches against the Triple A team under the Mets, striking out five. He gave up three hits and only one walk. The veteran left-handed pitcher (Ryu Hyun-jin), who has been out of action for more than 13 months due to Tommy John surgery, can join Toronto’s starting rotation as early as next week.”
Ryu Hyun-jin, who successfully made a minor league rehabilitation appearance, showed what Toronto expected. On this day, when pitches were expected to be 80 pitches to 5 innings, he successfully completed the final task by recording more pitches and innings than expected.
Toronto will play a 17-game schedule, starting with the Angels on the 29th. If Ryu Hyun-jin is given more than 4 days of rest, he is likely to return on the 29th.
