Toronto Blue Jays' Ryu Hyun-jin looked back on a special season and cheered for his fellow juniors to challenge the big leagues.



Today (3rd), Hyunjin Ryu visited the National Human Rights Commission of Korea in Jeo-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, and began his activities as an honorary ambassador for sports human rights.



On this day, Hyun-jin Ryu had a 15-minute conversation with National Human Rights Commissioner Choi Young-ae, and took a LAN line interview and photo shoot related to sports human rights.



After the human rights committee event, I had a short interview with reporter Hyunjin Ryu.



Ryu Hyun-jin said, "It's a pity that the PS ended too early. Still, I got into Korea after throwing it well in a difficult situation with Corona 19, and I am generally satisfied."



Ryu Hyun-jin, who entered the major league stage with a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013, signed a contract with Toronto for four years for $80 million before the 2020 season.



In the aftermath of Corona 19, the opening schedule of the major leagues was delayed, so Ryu Hyun-jin remained in Dunedin, Florida, USA, where the Toronto Spring Camp is located, for personal training.



My wife Bae Bae-hyun gave birth to a daughter in Dunedin in May.



Since Ryu Hyun-jin has to live in a hotel during the regular season, Bae Bae-hyun and her daughter came to Korea in August.



Ryu Hyun-jin, who lives with her daughter after two months, said, "I refrain from going out. I am turning into a family man."



Ryu Hyun-jin endured the lonely time well, and in this year's regular season, he posted an average ERA of 2.69 with 5 wins and 2 losses in 12 games.



The average ERA is fourth in the American League.



The fall stage was unfortunately over.



Ryu Hyun-jin made a start in the second game of the Tampa Bay and American League Wildcard series on the 1st of last month, but became a losing pitcher by hitting 8 hits including two home runs and 7 runs in 1⅔innings.



Ryu Hyun-jin also ended the 2020 season with Toronto retreating from the wild card series with two wins in three matches.



Even after the regular season is over, Ryu Hyun-jin's name appears in the local media.



Ryu Hyun-jin, along with Japanese pitchers Kenta Maeda (Minnesota Twins) and Shane Bieber (Cleveland Indians), made it to the three American League Cy Young Finalists.



Ryu Hyun-jin, who took 88 points, including 1st place 1st place and 2nd place 10th place in the National League Cy Young's poll last year, after Jacob D.Grom (New York Mets), is aiming for '1st place vote' again this year.



Ryu Hyun-jin lowered himself, saying, "The competitor is so outstanding that I do not expect an award. Still, it is an honor to be in the top three."



He cheered for juniors Yang Hyeon-jong (KIA Tigers) and Kim Ha-seong (Kium Heroes) who dream of advancing to the major leagues after him.



Ryu Hyun-jin said, "I was proud that Kim Gwang-hyun (St. Louis Cardinals) played well in a difficult situation this year, and I was also proud of it." I hope that I will challenge you with that."
