Hyeon-Jin Ryu of Toronto, a professional baseball player in the US, brushed off his nervousness and achieved 6 wins in the season after the fourth challenge.
Hyun-Jin Ryu started in a visiting match against the Baltimore Orioles in the American professional baseball league (MLB) held at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and pitched 3 hits, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts and 1 run (1 run) over 7 innings. It led to a 7-4 victory.
Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched seven innings for the fourth time this season, lowering his ERA from 3.43 to 3.25.
After achieving five wins in the season on the 29th of last month, he had only two losses without a win in three starts, but added a victory in 23 days.
Departure was unsettling.
After a full-count game against Trey Mancini in the 1st inning, Ryu Hyun-jin allowed a solo home run in mid-month and gave up the lead.
The 132km/h changeup flew high and became a prey for Mancini.
Hyun-Jin Ryu allowed follow-up hitter Ryan Mountcastle to get a right-handed hit, and it seemed to shake.
However, Ryu Hyun-jin responded calmly.
After making a two-strike with a fastball against Anthony Santander, he threw a change ball in succession to induce a third-base ground ball and caught it with a double stroke.
After allowing Freddie Galvis a left-handed hit in the second inning, Ryu escaped the crisis by striking out Michael Franco in right field and Pedro Severino in a swing.
From the 3rd time on it was perfect.
Ryu Hyun-jin showed a stable appearance by recording a three-way streak in consecutive innings.
We also paid attention to the number of pitches, such as catching 5 out of 6 outs.
The Toronto batting line succeeded in a comeback in the 5th inning and lightened Ryu Hyun-jin's shoulder.
Leading hitter Liz Maguire opened the door with a double from right-center against opposing starter Matt Harvey, and Bo Bissett struck a right-handed hit to make the score 1-1.
Then, Randall Gritschick slammed a two-run double in the first-round opportunity created by Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s walk and Theosca Hernandez' left-handed hit, turning it 3-1.
In a series of one-on-one, first and third base opportunities, Cavern Vizio's Texas St. Lucky just-hit hit continued and he ran away to 4-1.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who gained strength, struck out Galvis and Franco in the bottom of the 5th inning with a wasted swing.
A cut fastball was used as the decisive ball.
He allowed a walk at the end of a full-count game against follow-up hitter Severino, but got out of the crisis by catching Pat Burleica with a ball in left field.
In the 6th and 7th innings, all six batters turned to bat.
On this day, Hyun-Jin Ryu threw a total of 100 balls.
The maximum speed with 43 fast balls was recorded at 151 km/h.
Various change balls such as cut fastballs (24), changeups (17), curves (12), sinking fastballs (3), and sliders (1) were also served.
