Reporter Kim Joo-hee = Toronto Blue Jays coach John Schneider is waiting for the return of ‘starter’ Ryu Hyun-jin.
According to the Toronto Sun on the 17th (Korean time), coach Schneider said, “If Ryu Hyun-jin returns in a few months, he will take a place in the starting rotation.”
Ryu Hyun-jin underwent surgery on his left elbow ligament in June last year and is currently undergoing rehabilitation.
Setting his return goal in July, he showed a strong will to return by appearing on the first day of the club’s spring training call on the 14th. . 메이저사이트
Toronto general manager Ross Atkins also gave Ryu Hyun-jin strength.
“Ryu Hyun-jin has been dedicated,” said Atkins, general manager.
It was difficult to comment on his return schedule yet, but he looked at it positively, saying, “It is encouraging that Ryu Hyun-jin is recovering well.”
After finishing the 2019 season, Ryu Hyun-jin obtained a free agent (FA) qualification and transferred to Toronto for 4 years and 80 million dollars.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who recorded an average ERA of 2.69 in 12 games despite the aftermath of Corona 19 in 2020, the first year of his transfer, recorded an average ERA of 4.37 with 14 wins and 10 losses in 2021. However, after recording an average ERA of 5.67 with 2 wins and 2 losses in 6 games last year, he felt elbow pain and was out of the season after undergoing surgery.
2023, which is also the last year of the FA contract, is even more important to Ryu Hyun-jin. If Ryu Hyun-jin, who also returned to Toronto, shows how he was when he was healthy, he can receive great strength.
