Ryu Hyun-jin vs. Moon Dong-ju Practice Match, Hanwha’s Own Production


Ryu Hyun-jin vs. Moon Dong-ju practice match, Hanwha's own live broadcast... “Explosive interest”


Ryu Hyun-jin selected for the Blue and White match on the 7th... Appearing domestically for the first time in 4,172 days

In an unusual move, professional baseball's Hanwha Eagles will broadcast the Blue and White match live.


This is due to a flood of requests from baseball fans to see Ryu Hyun-jin (36) make his first domestic appearance.


A Hanwha official said on the 5th, "We decided to broadcast live at the club level the Blue and White match to be held at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the afternoon of the 7th," and added, "After Ryu Hyun-jin's pitching schedule was confirmed, numerous fans requested broadcasting, and the club provided its own equipment. 메이저사이트


“We decided to pursue live broadcasting on YouTube,” he said.


No spectators allowed.


An official said, "Currently, various parts of the stadium are undergoing repair work ahead of the opening of the exhibition game, so there may be safety issues," and added, "We plan to allow spectators starting from the exhibition game."


Ryu Hyun-jin is scheduled to warm up lightly against his teammates in the Blue and White match on the 7th.


We plan not to overdo it as there are about two weeks left until the 23rd of this month, the opening day of the regular season.


Ryu Hyun-jin has calmly improved his physical condition so far.


He threw 45 pitches in the spring camp bullpen in Okinawa, Japan on the 23rd of last month, and then increased his pitch count to 60 on the 26th.


And on the 2nd of this month, he checked his physical condition by throwing 65 balls through live pitching, where he stood up the batter and threw the balls.


It is highly likely that he will continue to pitch at a similar level in the Blue and White match on the 7th.


Ryu Hyun-jin may not give out 100% of his strength, but today's game has a special meaning.


It has been 12 years and a whopping 4,172 days since Ryu Hyun-jin stood on the mound in Daejeon wearing a Hanwha uniform.


In addition, Hanwha decided to have Moon Dong-ju pitch as the starting pitcher for Ryu Hyun-jin's opponent.


Although it was only a practice match, the scene where Hanwha's legend and Mirae faced each other as starters in one game was achieved.


The sight of the two players taking turns on the mound is expected to thrill not only Hanwha fans but also all baseball fans in Korea.


Hanwha fans show an explosive reaction.


Apart from practice games, exhibition game schedules are being sold out one after another.


Hanwha announced on the 9th that the opening game of the exhibition game against the Samsung Lions in Daejeon was sold out and that it had decided to open additional outfield seats.


Ryu Hyun-jin plans to appear in an exhibition game against the KIA Tigers on the 12th, but it is difficult to guess how many fans will show up.


This year's professional baseball exhibition games on weekends are paid, and midweek games are free.


Admission to the game against KIA on the 12th, where Ryu Hyun-jin is scheduled to appear, is free.


The last time Ryu Hyun-jin stood on the mound at Daejeon Stadium was on October 4, 2012, in a home game against the Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom).


Ryu Hyun-jin, who was about to advance to the Major League (MLB) of American professional baseball, gave his all in his last pitching game in the KBO League against Nexen at the time.


Ryu Hyun-jin, who had a total of 98 wins in the KBO League, expressed his ambition to win against Nexen and achieve 99 wins, the same number as his uniform number, before leaving for the United States.


He also said that he would like to achieve his 100th win in his first game back in Korea.


Ryu Hyun-jin gritted his teeth and threw.


They continued their 1-0 lead by holding off the Nexen batting lineup until the 6th inning.


However, Ryu Hyun-jin was unable to secure a victory as he allowed a solo home run to tie the game against Kang Jeong-ho of the opposing team in the top of the 7th inning.


Ryu Hyun-jin fought back by throwing a whopping 129 balls until the 10th inning of extra innings, saying he would achieve '99 wins', but Hanwha's batting line was unable to score any points, resulting in a 1-1 tie.
