Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Toronto Blue Jays), who has successfully revived, will challenge for a 4-game winning streak at Coors Field, the “graveyard of pitchers.”
Toronto predicted Ryu Hyun-jin as the starting pitcher in the first game of the six-game away game against the Colorado Rockies held at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, USA on the 2nd at 9:40 am (Korean time). Ryu Hyun-jin will stand on the Coors Field mound 4 years and 1 month after August 1, 2019, when he played for the Los Angeles Dodgers. It is the first time wearing a Toronto uniform.
At Coors Field, which is located at an altitude of 1,600m above sea level, the batted ball is famous for reaching a long distance with less air resistance. For this reason, it has been nicknamed the ‘Pitcher’s Graveyard’. Ryu Hyun-jin also struggled at Coors Field. He pitched in six career games at Coors Field, going 1-4 with a 7.09 earned run average. He allowed eight homers in 26 2/3 innings.메이저놀이터
Ryu Hyun-jin, who is on a three-game winning streak by beating the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Guardians in a row, is facing a turning point.
It is also an important milestone for Toronto. Toronto is currently chasing the third-place Texas Rangers by 2.5 games in the American League wild card race, which is the marginal line for advancing to the postseason. In a situation where all games are important from now on, it is necessary to decorate the start of the six away games with a victory.
After returning from injury, Ryu Hyun-jin, the ‘returned ace’, who is producing good results with slow curves in the early 100 km/h range and sophisticated control, is more desperate than ever.
