“Ryu Hyun-jin, he threw 100 pitches yesterday … I can give you more time to recover.”
There’s a chance that ‘Korean Monster’ Ryu Hyun-jin (33, Toronto Blue Jays) won’t be a starter in the first game of the fall party.
Toronto coach Charlie Monteyo and general manager Ross Atkins agreed that ‘Ace’ Hyun-jin Ryu has yet to decide whether to start the first leg of the postseason (PS).
After finishing a home game with the Baltimore Orioles of the Major League of American Professional Baseball (MLB) held at Sailon Field in Buffalo, New York on the 26th (Korean time), coach Monteyo said in a video interview with local media, “Hyunjin Ryu threw 100 pitches yesterday.” I’m feeling a little sore afterward, “he said.” It may give you more time to relax. “
He replied, “Yes” to the question, “Is it possible to take a short inning off (starter) Taiwan Walker in today’s game?”
Toronto will play PS Game 1 on the 30th.
Ryu Hyun-jin started the last game of the regular season with the New York Yankees on the 25th, and he only has to take a four-day break to start the first PS game.
Initially, experts predicted that Ryu Hyun-jin would not throw many balls in the Yankees game to improve his physical condition for the first PS game.
However, Ryu Hyun-jin threw 100 pitches, the most this season.
On the other hand, Walker, Toronto’s ‘second starter’, who started against Baltimore that day, threw just 42 pitches and went down.
Since Walker wasn’t throwing a lot of balls, an environment was created where he could start the first PS game on the 30th.
Prior to this, general manager Atkins also blurred the answer to questions about the starting pitcher for the first PS game.
General manager Atkins said, “Our team will operate the mound with a creative and open mind in the postseason” and “we haven’t decided which player to put in the first game.”
“We will find strategies and ways to maximize the power of the mound,” he added.
Ryu Hyun-jin performed exceptionally well among Toronto’s starting pitchers this season.
Ryu Hyun-jin made seven of Toronto starter’s 11 quality starts this season (6 innings and less than 3 ERA).
Ryu Hyun-jin was the only Toronto player to fill the standard innings through the 25th and won the most (5 wins) on the team.
Transfer student Walker played 53⅓ innings, which was below regular innings, and played an active role with a 2.70 ERA with a 4-3 loss.
