Ryu Hyun-jin (37, Hanwha Eagles), who became the losing pitcher in his return to the KBO after 12 years, showed a resolute appearance and once again emphasized the importance of ball control.
Ryu Hyun-jin met with reporters ahead of the opening second game against the LG Twins in the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 24th and said, “I was nervous because it was my return after a long time,” and “I wanted to do well because it was the first game of the season, but I felt disappointed. “There is,” he said.
Ryu Hyun-jin started the opening game against LG on the 23rd and performed poorly, allowing 6 hits, 3 walks, and 5 runs (2 earned) in 3⅔ innings. As Hanwha lost 2-8, Ryu Hyun-jin suffered the burden of defeat. This is Ryu Hyun-jin’s 53rd loss (98 wins) in the KBO League.
Ryu Hyun-jin threw a fast ball at a maximum speed of 150 km/h on this day, but failed to show his unique sharpness, allowing three walks.
Regarding this, he said, “I was very disappointed with my breaking ball control,” and added, “I felt again through yesterday’s game that no matter how good my condition is, I have to have good ball control.”
He continued, “No matter how much you throw at 150km, it’s useless if you can’t control the ball because batters have the ability to make contact. Even if the fastball velocity is only in the low 140km/h range, I think you’ll get better results if you control the ball well.”
At the same time, he confessed, “Yesterday, my pitch control was shaky and the number of pitches was messed up,” and then added, “I think it was just a vaccination. “He will do what a starting pitcher can do and prepare well for the next game,” he added.
If there are no special variables in the schedule, Ryu Hyun-jin is scheduled to appear as a starter in the home opening game against KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 29th.
Meanwhile, Ryu Hyun-jin did not forget to comfort Moon Hyun-bin, who made a mistake that led to a large number of goals in the previous day’s game.
In the game the previous day, Moon Hyun-bin made a catching error in the bottom of the 4th inning with 2 outs and runners on first base and could not finish the inning. After an error, Ryu Hyun-jin suffered a timely hit for Park Hae-min with 1 RBI and a timely hit for Hong Chang-gi with 2 RBIs, but was unable to finish the inning and swallowed his disappointment as he went down the mound.
Ryu Hyun-jin said, “When Hyun Bin came in after finishing the inning, I said I was sorry for not being able to block him properly.” He also said, “I was afraid that one mistake would lead to a large number of runs and Hyun Bin would be discouraged, so I told him to keep his head up.” He actually seemed to comfort his junior. .
