Ryu Hyun-jin to Appear Against Tampa Bay on the 30th, Which may be Toronto's 'Farewell Game'

Ryu Hyun-jin, a wild card when advancing to the Toronto PS, is unlikely to play.

Ryu Hyun-jin is scheduled to appear as a starter in the 2023 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) home game against the Tampa Bay Rays, which will be held at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at 8:07 a.m. on the 30th (Korean time).

Ryu Hyun-jin, who completed 14 months of rehabilitation from left elbow ligament ligament (Tommy John) surgery, has appeared in 10 games since returning to the big leagues last month.

His records are 3 wins, 3 losses, and an earned run average of 3.31.

He earned his 3rd win of the season against the Cleveland Guardians on the 27th of last month and has only 2 losses in 5 appearances this month.

In particular, his most recent appearance, a visiting game against Tampa Bay on the 24th, was the worst pitching since his return.

Above all, Ryu Hyun-jin's trademark control was shaken, and he gave up three home runs, allowing 7 hits, 3 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 5 runs in 4⅓ innings, the most home runs, walks, and runs allowed in a single game.

In this appearance, which closes the regular season, Ryu Hyun-jin aims for his fourth win of the season and a spot as a postseason starter.

Toronto, currently ranked 2nd in the American League (AL) wild card, will play Tampa Bay in the wild card with 2 wins out of 3 if they finish the regular season according to their current ranking.

Although Toronto's order may change depending on the future schedule, the starting lineup for the longest three-round wild card is actually Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassett, and Jose Berrios.

In the postseason, pitchers with fastballs take the mound as bullpen pitchers, so realistically, Ryu Hyun-jin is unlikely to play as a wild card regardless of the outcome of his appearance against Tampa Bay on the 30th.

Ryu Hyun-jin left an ERA of 3.72 in 6 games against Tampa Bay in the regular season, and in the postseason, he collapsed with 8 hits and 7 runs (3 earned runs) in 1⅔ innings in the second game of the 2020 wild card.

If Toronto does not pass the wild card, which is the first stage of the postseason, this game against Tampa Bay could be Ryu Hyun-jin's farewell game with Toronto.

At the end of this season, Ryu Hyun-jin completes a four-year contract with Toronto and becomes a free agent.

However, the story will be different if they defeat Tampa Bay and advance to the Division Series (DS) with 3 wins out of 5.

Since at most four starting pitchers are needed, Ryu Hyun-jin may get a chance to transform into a 'fall monster' depending on his performance against Tampa Bay.

Ryu Hyun-jin has started 9 postseason games in the big league so far and has 3 wins, 3 losses, and an average ERA of 4.54.

Ryu Hyun-jin returned to the mound and proved that he is competitive as a starting pitcher with his control even though he has not yet fully recovered the speed of the ball. In order to
continue playing in the big league next year, he must successfully complete the rehabilitation return season in 2023. .

Tampa Bay's key to achieving this goal is to suppress long hits.

Ryu Hyun-jin hit a home run against Yandy Diaz, Josh Law, and Christian Betancourt in the game against Tampa Bay on the 24th.

The 3-run home run hit by Law was a missed throw, and Diaz and Betancourt ended up with home runs due to the poor position of the pitch even though they did not miss the ball.
