15 years have passed. Two lefties representing the Korean baseball world Hyun-jin Ryu (33, Toronto Blue Jays) and Kwang-hyun Kim (32, Saint Louis Cardinals) laughed side by side in Major League Baseball (MLB), the setting of their dreams .
Ryu Hyun-jin was the first to deliver the victory report.
Ryu Hyun-jin started a game against the New York Yankees in the 2020 Major League (MLB) held at Sailon Field in Buffalo, New York, USA on the 25th (Korean time) and made a good pitch with 5 hits and 7 tickets without a race.
With Toronto’s 4-1 win, Ryu Hyun-jin won the fifth win of the season (2 losses). It was a victory that led the team to the fall party in four years, and it was a moment to put a point in the mischief against the New York Yankees, which had been plagued from the Los Angeles Dodgers era.
Ryu Hyun-jin’s energy was delivered intact to Kim Gwang-hyun.
Kim Gwang-hyun, who reached the mound about two hours later than Ryu Hyun-jin, had five hits and one run in five innings against the Milwaukee Brewers. In the final defense of the fifth inning, which preceded the 3-1, he was on the verge of 2nd, 1st and 2nd base, but cooked Ryan Bron like a hit and met the requirements for a winning pitcher.
Kim Kwang-hyun had 3 wins (undefeated) amid extra goals from other players and a good shot from the St. Louis team.
It’s been 15 years since a Korean player became a victorious pitcher on the same day in the major leagues.
On August 25, 2005, Park Chan-ho, who played for the San Diego Padres, beat the Houston Astros with five innings and five hits and two runs (one ERA).
Seo Jae-eung, who was from the New York Mets, made an appearance against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the same day. Seo Jae-eung, who is remembered as a well-controlled pitcher who punches every corner, became a winning pitcher with 7 hits and 2 runs in 7 innings.
This is the last memory of the victory with the Korean players. Since then, meaningful records have rarely been found. A ‘monster’ named Ryu Hyun-jin beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, but no high-quality Korean player appeared with him.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who was fighting, has a strong partner named Kim Gwang-hyun this year. How Kim Gwang-hyun, who started the season as a finalist, went on to start after one game, the day the two players appeared at the same time.
They played three games as a starter on the same day, but have never laughed together. The two players, who seemed to be spending a year like this, took great advantage of their fourth and last chance.
Ryu Hyun-jin and Kim Gwang-hyun, who are one year apart, have traveled to various international venues since their twenties to shine in Korean baseball. The two players, now in their 30s, have marked another milestone in baseball’s successor country.
