- 5 years ago
South Korean pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin opted last year to accept a qualifying offer with the LA Dodgers instead of opting for free agency,... hoping to prove to everyone that he's not only healthy,... but also one of the best pitchers in the league.
So far,... he's been proving the doubters wrong.
According to ESPN,... the 32-year-old is the leading contender for the National League Cy Young Award,... given to the best pitcher in the league.
It ranks pitchers based on their innings pitched, E-R-A, strikeouts, record, among other factors.
And based on those,... Ryu is far ahead of the other contenders.
With 7 wins and just 1 loss,... with an ERA of 1-point-six-five,... Ryu has a chance to become the first South Korean to get his hands on the top pitching prize.
