Coors Field, the home stadium of the Colorado Rockies in the Major League Baseball MLB, is known as the "grave of pitchers." This is because the altitude about 1.6km above sea level is high and the air is dry, increasing the batting distance. In other stadiums, the ball caught in front of the fence becomes a home run over the fence at Coors Field. 토토
Ryu Hyun-jin 36, Toronto Blue Jays will start the away game against Colorado at Coors Field at 9:40 a.m. on the 2nd of next month Korea Standard Time. It is the first time in more than four years that Ryu Hyun-jin has taken the mound in Coors Field since August 1, 2019. He, who is trying to win four consecutive individual titles, faced his first crisis of the season.
Coors Field is also a nightmare for Ryu Hyun-jin. He was sluggish with one win and four losses and a 7.09 ERA in six career games at Coors Field. He gave up 26 points 21 earned runs while throwing 26 2/3 innings. He had the highest ERA among big league baseball stadiums in more than three games.
He hit eight home runs in six games, and his batting average reached 0.667 points. Except for the LA Dodgers and Toronto home stadiums where Ryu Hyun-jin played, Coors Field has the highest number of home runs. He also allowed 12 walks. He is tied for second place after Chase Field 15, the home stadium of the Atlanta Braves, who played three more games. While trying to avoid a false pitch, the ball control was shaken, and the number of walks seems to have increased.
Ryu Hyun-jin pitched well with two runs in six innings in his first appearance at Coors Field in 2014, his second year in the big league. However, in 2017, three years later, he lost only three games, allowing 17 runs 12 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings in three games. In the away game on June 29, his first appearance in 2019, he collapsed with seven runs after hitting nine hits, including three home runs, in four innings.
Ryu has since changed his mind. After about a month, he took the mound again at Coors Field and pitched six scoreless innings. While throwing 80 balls, he didn\'t hit any long balls and gave up only one walk. The game, which overcame home run phobia, is the last memory of Ryu Hyun-jin and Coorsfield.
Ryu Hyun-jin has a 2.25 ERA six earned runs in 24 innings this season after overcoming elbow ligament surgery. Three points, half of the six earned runs, came out with three solo home runs. Slow fastballs or curves are easy to lead to long hits as soon as they are pushed to the middle. For Ryu Hyun-jin, who has the slowest speed among MLB pitchers, taking the mound at Coors Field, the "home run factory," may be more burdensome.
The situation is not good either. Toronto\'s main third baseman Matt Chapman and main shortstop Bobissett left side by side due to injuries. Ryu Hyun-jin will be at a difficult starting line without two teammates to be the "support group" for victory in scoring and defense.
However, Ryu Hyun-jin has a "trustworthy corner" left by the years. It is a pinpoint control that MLB admires and an excellent ability to control speed. The ball speed has dropped more than four years ago, but Ryu\'s brain has become smarter. Nolan Arenado, Ryu Hyun-jin\'s "natural enemy," has also long left for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Coorsfield expedition, which appears to be a "crisis," may be a "opportunity" to prove him more solid.
