- 5 years ago
South Korean star pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin has received the golden ticket.
His efforts for the LA Dodgers this season have seen him selected for the MLB All-Star Game,... becoming just the fourth South Korean in the history to get the nod.
Watchers say the 32-year-old's addition for the first time in his seven-year MLB career is an indication of how well he's been playing.
He currently holds the MLB's best ERA one-point-eight-three during his 16 games this season.
Ryu's inclusion means he follows in the footsteps of other Korean baseball legends Park Chan-ho, Kim Byung-hyun and Choo Shin-soo.
The All-Star Game will take place at Progressive Field in Cleveland on July 10th.
