Manager calls Ryu “great” and ace “perfect”… Toronto gambles ‘all in’ on Ryu

Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Toronto), who will return to the Major League on August 2 against Baltimore, made a final inspection on the 30th (Korea Standard Time). He threw the ball from the bullpen and finished his final coordination before returning.

Toronto coach John Schneider, as well as pitching coach Pete Walker, went to the bullpen to watch Ryu Hyun-jin’s pitch. Danny Jansen, who is likely to be paired with Ryu Hyun-jin in his return match, received the ball himself. All key officials participated in Ryu Hyun-jin’s preparation for his return.

They were not the only ones. Kevin Gausman and Chris Bassett, who are Toronto’s starting rotation this year, also saw Ryu Hyun-jin throw the ball in the bullpen. Gausman and Basit were recruited after Ryu Hyun-jin’s surgery, and they may have been curious about Ryu Hyun-jin’s ball.

The result was satisfactory. He proved 먹튀검증 with bullpen pitching that all preparations were completed. Coach Schneider summarized Ryu Hyun-jin’s pitching as “great” in an interview with local media such as North American sports media “The Athletic.” Schneider said, “We worked together through pitchcom and got used to it. The location was correct as always. He is ready to go out. “It looked very good,” he praised.

Coach Schneider expressed deep trust during spring training in February, vowing to start the starting rotation as soon as Ryu Hyun-jin returns in the second half. Although he came in about a turn later than originally planned, Ryu Hyun-jin’s return to the team that plays 17 consecutive games is a thousand troops. It is Ryu Hyun-jin’s first appearance in the big leagues since June 2 last year.

“Ace” Gaussman, who saw Ryu Hyun-jin’s pitch on the same day, also welcomed the return of the former ace. Not only is Ryu Hyun-jin a player who can help the team, but he will also be of great help to the rest of the existing five starting pitchers (Gausman, Bathit, Jose Berios, Yusei Kikuchi, and Alec Manoa). Gausman said, “This year has been (phyself) tough. “We couldn’t afford to have a type such as a day off,” he recalled, welcoming it as “the perfect time to put in Ryu Hyun-jin.”

Toronto starting pitchers generally welcomed Ryu Hyun-jin’s return. Schneider said, “They liked it in that anyone could take another day off. They are a close group. I think Ryu Hyun-jin is welcome to join the group again, and I think he understands that it will benefit everyone in the short term,” he said.

One more interesting thing is the movement of his team Toronto. Local media predicted that Toronto may recruit a new starting pitcher ahead of the trade deadline. This is why the starting lineup was built with a lot of money, but it did not meet expectations overall this year. It was definitely a collection of high-quality players, but there were ups and downs. It’s good when you throw well, and when you don’t, the game often goes over early.

Local media were also unsure of Ryu Hyun-jin’s physical condition, which had been absent for a long time after undergoing elbow ligament reconstruction surgery (Tommy John Surgery). There was skepticism about whether Ryu Hyun-jin could return and show his former self. But Toronto has defeated all of these stories. Rather, he seems to trust Ryu Hyun-jin.

To test Ryu Hyun-jin, he had to take the mound once before the trade deadline and go through the final “decision.” However, Toronto did not seem to be very interested in trading starting pitchers, giving Ryu Hyun-jin enough room to take the mound. If Ryu Hyun-jin joins the existing five starters, the starting lineup will be able to find stability, and if so, it may have been calculated that it would be better to invest the resources in the other side. In fact, Toronto recruited Jordan Hicks, a finishing resource, in a trade with St. Louis on the 31st.

Toronto did not make this decision for no reason. It is reasonable to say that such a decision was made because he was already watching the rehabilitation process without missing and he was confident that Ryu Hyun-jin would play more than one portion. It should be said that Ryu Hyun-jin’s rehabilitation was going smoothly, and now Toronto has “all-in” Ryu Hyun-jin for the rest of the season. All that remains is for Ryu Hyun-jin to live up to this expectation.
