Hanwha Eagles Ryu Hyun-jin (37) couldn’t have asked for a more perfect rehearsal for the regular season opener.

Ryu will start on Sunday against the Lotte Giants in an exhibition game at Sajik Stadium in Busan, South Korea. It will be his last real start before he takes the mound against the defending champion LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on April 23.

The rain forecast had both Hanwha and Ryu had their hearts in their throats, but fortunately, the rain forecast for the Busan area on the 17th has cleared. If Ryu’s start is canceled, the plan to get his pitch count up before the opening game will be disrupted. “I’m glad that the rain forecast has disappeared,” Choi Won-ho said, “but the rain forecast is weirdly four days apart when only Ryu Hyun-jin is pitching. When we try to pitch only Ryu from Japan, it rains and there is a rain forecast. We planned it first, and it rains in the sky. It’s really mysterious,” he said.

However, he was relieved when the rain forecast disappeared.

Ryu has been working hard to improve his physical condition since the decision to return to Hanwha was made in late February. He joined the camp in Okinawa, 안전놀이터 Japan, where he checked his physical condition through live pitching and his own batting practice. On February 2, he threw 65 live pitches at the Okinawa camp for the first time, marking his return. Although his fastball was only 139 kilometers at the time, he was praised for his sophisticated delivery.

On July 7, he pitched three innings against the Bluebacks, allowing one hit, one walk, three strikeouts and one run. He threw 46 pitches with a fastball that touched 143 kilometers. In his first start against KIA on the 12th, he threw four innings of three-hit ball with no walks, three strikeouts, and one run on 62 pitches. His fastball reached 148 kilometers, indicating that he was back to full health.

Ryu, who was effectively named the Opening Day starter for LG upon signing with Hanwha, will be the first South Korean pitcher to start the Opening Day in 12 years, since 2012. Ryu has started Opening Day five times (2007-2009, 2011-2012).

Ryu was a “monster” in the KBO after joining Hanwha in 2006

Going 98-52 with a 2.80 ERA in 190 games over seven seasons. After the 2012 season, he made it to the big leagues through the posting system (closed competitive bidding). He signed a six-year, $36 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He spent six years with the Dodgers as one of the best starting pitchers in the league, despite suffering from shoulder, elbow, and groin injuries. In 2019, he went 14-5 with a 2.32 ERA in 29 games, leading the National League in ERA and finishing second in the National League Cy Young Award voting. He also became the first Asian pitcher to receive first-place votes in the Cy Young Award voting.

After the 2019 season, he signed a four-year, $80 million free agent contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The contract was complicated by the COVID-19 shortened season and he underwent elbow ligament reconstruction surgery in the middle of the deal. Last year, the final season of his four-year deal, he returned healthy and went 3-3 with a 3.46 ERA in 11 starts.

Afterward, Ryu became a free agent again. He prioritized staying in the major leagues, but the idea of returning to Hanwha was always on his mind. Hanwha kept in touch with Ryu and asked him to return. Hanwha waited for Ryu to make a decision and left the door open for him to return. In the end, Hanwha’s sincerity convinced Ryu to come back, and he signed a record-breaking eight-year, $17 billion contract.

After 10 seasons in the big leagues

Where he compiled a 78-48 record with a 3.27 ERA, Ryu’s return has been the talk of the KBO. Ryu’s presence is an issue in itself. Ryu’s return has not only boosted Hanwha’s power, but also the level of attention it receives.

The Blue-Black game on July 7 was broadcast on the club’s YouTube channel, Eagles TV, and more than 60,000 people watched the game. Even on days when Ryu didn’t pitch, the Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park was packed since the start of the exhibition games. For the opening two games of the exhibition series against Samsung on Sept. 9 and 10, the outfield seats were opened to a capacity crowd of 12,000, and Ryu held a mini-fansigning session for about an hour for fans who waited to see him.

Now, the team is having its final rehearsal at Sajik Stadium before the regular season opener. And Ryu will be pitching in front of his biggest crowd since returning to Korea. The game against Kia in Daejeon on April 12 was held on a weekday. There were 3,500 people in the stands.

The pitch against Lotte at Sajik Stadium will be on the weekend.

Lotte opened both the first and third base sides of Sajik Stadium for weekend games and took reservations. The cost was 5,000 won. The current capacity is 13,766 seats. The game on the 16th reached 12,445 fans, which is close to a sellout, and Lotte expects to sell out 13,766 seats for Ryu Hyun-jin’s start on the 17th. 카지노사이트 추천 Even if it doesn’t sell out, it is certain that more than 13,000 people will visit Sajik Stadium. This is an unusual crowd for an exhibition game. While there are expectations for the new Lotte team under Kim Tae-hyung, it can also be explained that the effect of Ryu Hyun-jin’s return to the team is also affecting Sasik.

The stadium was packed with more than 10,000 people, and the Lotte fans were cheering for him. From Ryu’s perspective, he couldn’t have asked for a more perfect opening day rehearsal. In fact, it’s a customized rehearsal. Ryu will be surrounded by LG fans at Jamsil Stadium, where he’ll be pitching the opening game. It’s the perfect way to end an exhibition game.

Now, Ryu will throw more than 80 pitches, his limit, against Lotte. Can Ryu complete his customized rehearsal and be ready for the opening game?
