Ryu Hyun-jin started as the starting pitcher for Nanum All-Star in the All-Star Game held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 6th.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who joined the Hanwha Eagles in 2006, played until 2012 and started playing in the major leagues from 2013. Ryu Hyun-jin, who was a major leaguer for 11 years until last year, returned to Hanwha ahead of this season.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who had 5 wins, 5 losses and a 3.62 ERA in 16 games this season, seemed to have some difficulty adapting to the KBO league until April, but soon got the hang of it. In games since June, he has played 32 innings in five games with a 1.97 ERA.

I'm going to have fun today." In addition, he realized the time by saying, `I used to have a lot of seniors, but now I feel that time has changed a lot because I don't see many seniors above me.'

Years have passed, but Ryu Hyun-jin's powerful pitching, dubbed the `Korean Monster," continued in the All-Star Game. As he pitched seven innings against KT Wiz on the 3rd, he couldn't pitch his full strength, but Ryu Hyun-jin's unique sharp control and stable breaking ball showed light.

A total of 20 pitchers took the mound, and among them, only Ryu Hyun-jin, Jeon Sang-hyun (KIA), Lee Seung-hyun (Samsung), and Moon Seung-won (SSG) recorded perfect innings. The best pitcher award went to Ryu Hyun-jin.
