Ryu Hyun-jin won the Cubs on the 14th...First win after elbow surgery
"Korean Monster" Ryu Hyun-jin 36, Toronto Blue Jays, who returned from a long and long rehabilitation, is on track.
Ryu Hyun-jin started the 2023 Major League Baseball game against the Chicago Cubs at Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the 14th and scored two runs no earned run with two hits, two walks, and three strikeouts in five innings.
With the team's 11-4 victory, Ryu Hyun-jin was named the winning pitcher in 444 days since the LA Angels match on May 27 last year.
It is the victory that Ryu Hyun-jin, who underwent elbow ligament joint surgery in June last year, won three games after returning.
On this day, Ryu Hyun-jin threw 86 balls and cooked the Cubs' batters by mixing four-seam fastball 40, changeup 24, cutter 12, and curve 10. The maximum speed was 91.1 miles about 146.6 miles.
Even when rehabilitation was in full swing after surgery, the local community cast doubt on Ryu Hyun-jin's comeback. This is because it is not easy for a pitcher in his mid-30s to undergo elbow surgery and succeed in rehabilitation.
However, Ryu Hyun-jin has endured a difficult time and is showing his presence on the big league mound again.
Ryu Hyun-jin is also gaining confidence in himself by regaining his old sense.
According to Canada Sports Net, Ryu Hyun-jin said after the game, "All pitches have been controlled very well since the last start. "I think I've returned to the point I wanted," he said with satisfaction.
"I've been in a good mood since the first bullpen pitching since the surgery. I have never actually stopped or sat down during rehabilitation. "Everything went smoothly and I'm very satisfied with that," he added. 메이저 토토사이트
