Moon Dong-ju, Who was Looking Forward to Ryu Hyun-jin

Moon Dong-ju, Who was Looking Forward to Ryu Hyun-jin... Ryu Hyun-jin is also happy after being ‘prepared for the lecture’

Ryu Hyun-jin "Moon Dong-ju is a very talented player... I want to help the pitcher's mindset."

What the Hanwha Eagles expect from Ryu Hyun-jin (36), who has returned, is not just wins, innings, strikeouts, and ERA on the record sheet.

I hope that he will pass on his experience of becoming the first Asian player to rank first in ERA in the Major League Baseball (MLB), where the world's best players gather, to young players. 카지노사이트

Ryu Hyun-jin also looks forward to meeting juniors who will lead the future of Korean baseball.

In particular, the meeting with Moon Dong-ju (21), who has emerged as a young ace for Hanwha and the Korean national baseball team, reminds me of the anecdote between SBS sports commentator Koo Dae-seong (54) and Ryu Hyun-jin, who announced the birth of a 'monster pitcher' 18 years ago.

In an interview with reporters on the 23rd, the first day of joining the camp in Okinawa, Japan, Ryu Hyun-jin said, "(When young players look at themselves now), I think it is similar to when Koo Dae-sung came when I first came," and "Now I have to do well.

“I think it should be that way,” he said, showing responsibility.

Koo Dae-seong, who debuted at Binggrae (now Hanwha) in 1993, guarded the Eagle's Nest until 2000 and entered the Japanese professional baseball league in 2001.

And in 2005, he signed with the New York Mets and entered the MLB stage.

The legendary ‘double against Randy Johnson’ also occurred at this time.

Koo Dae-seong, who unfortunately ended his MLB career after one year due to an injury, returned to Hanwha ahead of the 2006 season and taught the 'big' left-handed rookie pitcher the changeup.

This is a famous story that announced the birth of monster pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin.

Now, like senior Koo Dae-seong, Ryu Hyun-jin is determined to teach a lot to his juniors.

Last year, Moon Dong-ju, who became the first Hanwha player to become the true successor by winning the KBO League Rookie of the Year award 17 years after Ryu Hyun-jin in 2006, has said several times, 'There are a lot of things I want to ask Ryu Hyun-jin when he comes.'

Ryu Hyun-jin, who heard this, said, "He is a very talented player and has more things than me. He

throws the ball faster than me, so I don't have any advice on that," but added, "I will help with the pitcher's mindset rather than the game." “I want to give it to you,” he said.

As Ryu Hyun-jin said, what is more helpful than teaching Moon Dong-ju, a pitcher who throws a fastball at 160 km/h, one more grip for a breaking ball, is to solidify his mindset as a player.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who was put on the operating table three times during the 11 years he played in MLB, overcame his difficulties with indomitable fighting spirit and came to this point.

In his younger days, he believed only in talent and threw from the mound, but now he knows exactly how to prepare for a game and deal with batters.

If the pitchers who will be responsible for Hanwha's future, such as Moon Dong-ju, Kim Seo-hyun (20), and Hwang Jun-seo (19), are mentally equipped, they can grow to the next level.

On the 23rd, the Hanwha players were unable to have much conversation with Ryu Hyun-jin because they were busy playing the game against Blue and White.

Ryu Hyun-jin's 'Introduction to Pitching' class is expected to begin on the 24th, the team's rest day.

Ryu Hyun-jin said with a twinkle in his eye, "If my juniors ask, of course I will tell them.

Teaching them won't do everything, but I think it would be good if it helps even a little.

I hope we do well together."
