Is there no RYU in Toronto fall baseball? Ryu Hyun-jin, excluded from WC list
Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned from injury and performed well, was eventually excluded from the postseason (PS) list. The original predictions of local media came true. In the end, it appears that his poor performance in his previous appearance was what caught him off guard.카지노사이트
Toronto announced its 26-man roster ahead of the first game of the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) Wild Card (WC) against the Minnesota Twins held at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the morning of the 4th (Korean time). Among the 26-man roster, there were 12 pitchers, and Ryu Hyun-jin’s name was not included. Starting pitchers included Chris Bassett, Jose Berrios, Kevin Gausman, and Yusei Kikuchi.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who underwent surgery to repair his elbow ligaments in June of last year, returned to the MLB mound after a year and two months after completing a long rehabilitation. Initially, there was a negative outlook that he would perform poorly due to a history of surgery at a young age, but after his return, he performed well with 3 wins and 3 losses in 11 games and an earned run average (ERA) of 3.46. In particular, he showed off a variety of pitches as well as clean control in each game, making baseball fans realize that they cannot win a game simply through velocity.
However, his performance in his last appearance was disappointing. Originally, Ryu Hyun-jin was scheduled to pitch against Tampa Bay on the 30th of last month, but he changed the pitching order with Kikuchi. Instead, in the game against Tampa Bay on the 1st, he came off the mound after throwing only 52 pitches in 3 innings and allowing 7 hits and 2 runs. His performance in the 5 games in August was 3 wins, 1 loss, and an ERA of 2.25, but in the 6 games in September, he dropped to 0 wins, 2 losses, and an ERA of 4.50.
Accordingly, local media in Canada and the United States early on predicted that Ryu Hyun-jin would be excluded from the PS list. MLB.com also said, “Ryu Hyun-jin’s exclusion from the entry was expected. “It will be difficult for him to take on the mission.”
Ryu Hyun-jin, who joined Toronto in the 2020 season, did not leave particularly good memories at PS. In his first year joining the team in 2020, he appeared in Game 2 of the WC against Tampa Bay and collapsed with 8 hits (2 home runs), 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, and 7 runs (3 earned runs) in 1⅔ innings.
Of course, there is a possibility that Toronto will advance to the next level and Ryu Hyun-jin will be included in the new roster. However, it is unclear whether he will be able to assume a starting role. Ryu Hyun-jin’s contract with Toronto ends at the end of this season.
Meanwhile, Toronto lost 1-3 in the first game of the WC against Minesta held on the 4th. If we give up the next game, we will be eliminated from fall baseball.
