Korean Monster, who performed well in the final rehearsal, is ready for the opening game

‘Korean Monster’ Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles) has completed all preparations to pitch in the opening game of the regular season.

Ryu Hyun-jin started the 2024 professional baseball KBO League exhibition game against the Lotte Giants held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 17th, allowing 6 hits, 6 strikeouts, and 2 runs in 5 innings.

The total number of pitches is 76. In addition to fastballs (40 pitches), he used change-ups (16 pitches), curves (12 pitches), and cutters (8 pitches), and the highest fastball velocity was recorded at 144km. Hanwha defeated Lotte 14-2, led by Ryu Hyun-jin's excellent pitching and a hot batting lineup with 19 hits and 14 points.

The start was a bit uneasy. In the bottom of the first inning, Jeong Hoon hit to right. Noh Jin-hyuk struck out, but allowed a left-field hit to Victor Riyes, putting the team on first and second base with one out. Fortunately, Jeon Jun-woo and Yoo Kang-nam were both hit to right field, and no runs were conceded.

The bottom of the second inning was clean. He calmly increased the number of outs against Kim Min-seong (center fielder fly), Park Seung-wook (strikeout), and Ju-chan Lee (left fielder fly), creating his first three-way inning of the day.

The first run came in the bottom of the third inning. He caught Jang Doo-seong (ground ball to second baseman) and Jeong Hoon (strikeout) one after another, but after getting hit by Noh Jin-hyuk and Reyes in a row, he gave Jeon Jun-woo a timely double with 2 RBIs. At first, it looked like an ordinary fly, but right fielder Lim Jong-chan was unable to judge the hit accurately. Yoo Kang-nam was struck out on three pitches and no additional runs were allowed.

The bottom of the 4th inning was stable again. Kim Min-seong was guided to a shortstop fly. He gave up a left-field hit to Park Seung-wook, but tied up Joo-chan Lee and Doo-seong Jang with a ground ball to third base and a fly to shortstop, respectively.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who was on the mound in the bottom of the 5th inning, gained momentum by striking out Jeong Hoon and Noh Jin-hyuk in succession. He then completed his mission that day by handling Reyes with a grounder to shortstop.

This match was Ryu Hyun-jin’s last exhibition game of the season. Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to Hanwha after living in the United States early this year, participated in two rounds of bullpen pitching and one live pitching at the spring camp in Okinawa, Japan. Then, in his first actual game on the 7th, the Blue and White match, he threw 46 balls.
