Ryu Hyun-jin has started the final inspection ahead of his return match. Toronto coach John Schneider also showed satisfaction and raised expectations. His teammates also admired Ryu Hyun-jin’s perfect control.
The Athletic, a U.S. sports media outlet, said, “A small crowd gathered in the bullpen.” “Coach Schneider, pitching coach Pete Walker, pitchers Kevin Gausman, and Chris Bassett watched Ryu Hyun-jin throw the ball to catcher Jansen ahead of his return to the Major League,” he said, reporting on Ryu Hyun-jin’s bullpen pitching.
Ryu Hyun-jin will return to the big league against the Baltimore Orioles on the 2nd of next month. Ryu Hyun-jin, who underwent elbow surgery last year, will be the first major league starting pitcher since the Chicago White Sox match on June 2, 2022 after passing a long tunnel of rehabilitation.
His rehabilitation appearance in the minor leagues was successful. Ryu Hyun-jin, who lost more than 13 kilograms, took the mound as a starting pitcher four times, allowing one walk, 16 strikeouts, four runs, and a 2.00 ERA in 18 innings. He no longer showed anything to prove in the minor leagues.
Coach Schneider also watched Ryu Hyun-jin steadily after joining the team. After finishing his bullpen pitching ahead of his return match, Schneider said, “Ryu Hyun-jin was really amazing. I’m getting used to it while working on PeachCom. As always, the ball control was accurate. I’m ready for the game. He praised Ryu Hyun-jin, saying, “He looked really good.”
If Ryu Hyun-jin returns, Toronto plans to operate a six-man starting rotation. Ryu Hyun-jin will defend the Toronto mound with Gausman, Bassett, Jose Berios, Yusei Kikuchi, and Alec Manoa. Coach Schneider said, “The pitchers will take another day off. “I think Ryu Hyun-jin will help everyone,” he said.
The Athletic said, “We will see Ryu Hyun-jin soon. Ryu Hyun-jin, who has been focusing on rehabilitation for more than a year, is also happy to join the starting lineup,” he said, conveying the atmosphere of the Toronto team. “Ryu Hyun-jin is Ryu Hyun-jin,” Manoa said. Looks great and threw all the balls well. “I’m glad Ryu Hyun-jin joined,” he said.
Ryu Hyun-jin wore a Toronto uniform for a four-year total of $80 million ahead of the 2020 season. After this season, the contract with Toronto ends. Ryu Hyun-jin’s future could be brighter if he shows his ace side again.
