Choi Jae-hoon ‘admires’ Ryu Hyun-jin’s ball…”I don’t even have to move”
Hanwha catcher Choi Jae-hoon (35) shared a battery with Ryu Hyun-jin (37) in his first live pitching session since joining the team at Gochinda Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on Feb. 2.
Choi, who received 65 pitches from Ryu, said, “His pitches are very good for catchers.
I don’t have to move,” Choi said.
Ryu, who has turned the team into a powerhouse with his comeback alone, made a fresh impact with one live pitch. 카지노
Hanwha was stunned by his next-level fastball, which felt like a computer game.
After signing with Hanwha on February 22, Ryu joined the Okinawa camp the next day and immediately began pitching out of the bullpen.
On that day, manager Choi Won-ho praised his “artistic pitching” and selected him as the opening day starter.
While Ryu was training in Korea without a team, he continued to practice pitching privately.
However, there were concerns that his first live pitch might be a little shaky as he had only pitched indoors, but Ryu impressed everyone with his flawless command.
“His delivery is an art,” said Choi Won-ho, “I saw it from behind, and the tip of the ball is good.
He throws all his fastballs to the corners of the (strike zone).
When you’re pitching live at this time of year, it’s easy to throw a changeup that’s a little too far out, but Ryu just sinks it.
I don’t know how he throws it like that.”
