‘ERA 8.36’ Ryu Hyun-jin, a monster who gets beaten What is the problem

In the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League game between Hanwha Eagles and Kiwoom held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the afternoon of the 5th, Hanwha Ryu Hyun-jin is frustrated after allowing consecutive runs in the bottom of the 5th inning.

Ryu Hyun-jin (37, Hanwha Eagles), who returned to the Korean stage after 12 years with great expectations, is struggling in the early stages. Ryu Hyun-jin has pitched three times, including the opening game, but has still recorded only two losses and no wins. 슬롯사이트

Even though he pitched as outstandingly as he did in the past, he did not become a winning pitcher due to defensive mistakes or lack of scoring support from the batting line. Ryu Hyun-jin himself is not showing himself as an ace.

Ryu Hyun-jin pitched 14 innings in the first three games of the season, showing poor performance with no wins, two losses, and an ERA of 8.36. He has the highest ERA among native starters in the league.

The details are also not good, with the hitting percentage reaching 0.359 and the number of bases allowed per inning (WHIP) reaching 2.00. Ryu Hyun-jin had 23 hits in 14 innings, which is the most in the KBO League as of the 8th.

Finally, in the game against Kiwoom Heroes on the 5th, he recorded 8 hits and gave up 9 runs in the 5th inning, giving up the most runs in his career.

Although it is still early in the season and there are not many samples, this is contrary to expectations that he will record top-level results in the league, even if he is not at his peak, overwhelming past batters. 안전놀이터

In particular, Ryu Hyun-jin’s pitch control, which is his strength, showed signs of shaking when he threw more than 70 pitches in all three games in which he appeared. Game hunting is considered one of the symptoms of physical decline. Ryu Hyun-jin repeated the vicious cycle of hitting consecutive hits and allowing runs after 70 pitches or more in every game he pitched. Unlike in the past, Ryu Hyun-jin is not a pitcher who overwhelms opposing batters with fastballs, but if his control is also shaky, it will be difficult for him to pitch effectively in the KBO League. However, since Ryu Hyun-jin has a lot of experience, there are predictions that he will find a solution on his own as he is aware of the current problem and adjusts the number of pitches as the game continues. MBC SPORTS+ commentator Jeong Min-cheol said, “Surgery history and physical strength issues were predicted to be problems for Ryu Hyun-jin even before his return,” adding, “In addition, in a situation where he himself is under a lot of pressure, opposing batters are also analyzing Ryu Hyun-jin a lot. “I think that’s why we’re having difficulties at the beginning of the season,” he explained. He continued, “The physical aspect is inevitable because of physical age. “Coach Won-ho Choi needs to closely monitor Ryu Hyun-jin’s physical condition and adjust the number of pitches,” he emphasized, adding, “Physical age is not something that can be determined solely by one’s motivation.” However, he predicted, “If you look at Ryu Hyun-jin’s current pitch and arm swing, it is not bad,” and added, “As he is an experienced pitcher, he will find solutions to current problems, including ball control issues, on his own when he plays against domestic teams.” 토토사이트 추천
