Korean Monster Ryu Hyun-jin was very happy about his first victory after elbow surgery.

Toronto's Ryu Hyun-jin started the home game against the Chicago Cubs at Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the 14th and recorded two hits, two walks, three strikeouts and two runs (non-earned) in five innings. Ryu Hyun-jin contributed to Toronto's 11-4 victory by pitching well on the day.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who underwent elbow ligament surgery in June last year, became the winning pitcher in three games after returning to the big leagues. It has been 444 days since the LA Angels match on May 27 last year. 스포츠토토

After the game, Ryu Hyun-jin said, "I'm so happy. "I rehabilitated while looking at this," he said. "Everything went smoothly from the rehabilitation process." I'm satisfied with that," he said.

Ryu Hyun-jin threw 31 pitches in the top of the first inning and allowed two runs. After that, he showed perfect pitching content. He threw 55 pitches in the second to fifth innings and blocked the opponent's batters.

The average fastball speed was only 88.4 miles (about 142.3 kilometers), but he cooked his opponents with commands that widely utilize the strike zone and sharp changeups.

Ryu Hyun-jin said, "Since the last game, all pitches have been controlling well as they want. So we're continuing to produce good results," he said.

Toronto coach John Schneider also praised Ryu Hyun-jin. Head coach Schneider said, "Ryu Hyun-jin has never returned to the fold. "I also suppressed a strong pitch in today's game," he said, adding, "I'm showing my pre-injury appearance."

At the same time, Schneider said, "It's amazing that he's showing such a side at his age. It's never easy, but Ryu Hyun-jin is doing it very easily. "I threw a really good ball," he praised.
