HYUN-JIN RYU

MLB DEBUT: 4/2/2013

AGE: 26

SIGNED: Signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as a free agent from Korea on December 9, 2012.

It wasn’t too long ago that Hyun-Jin Ryu was out for the season with a shoulder injury. It wasn’t too long ago when the Dodgers worried about a pitcher who was once a solid starter for them.

I think it’s safe to say that Ryu is back, and better than ever. He pitched great last season, he’s pitched great this season. He’s the anchor in the Dodgers rotation.

He began his MLB career with the Dodgers on April 2, 2013, against the San Francisco Giants. He gave up only one run over 6 1/3 innings but allowed 10 hits. He would go on to finish the season with a record of 19-11.

Ryu could pitch really well this season, in fact, he’s expected to. Whether or not he’ll re-sign is still unknown, but if he does, he’ll continue to hold down a rotation that will hopefully be lead by…
