Ryu Hyun-jin (38, Hanwha Eagles) set the fourth record ever, but his victory did not follow.

Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound as a starter in an away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 26th and allowed four hits, no four outs, seven strikeouts and one run in six innings.

Ryu, who is 6-7 with a 3.59 ERA in 21 games this season, has not won in the last five games. In the previous match against Doosan, he was sluggish with six runs in six innings, but he pitched quality starts (three earned runs in more than six innings) in the previous two times, but he had no luck.




Ryu Hyun-jin played his part as a starting pitcher, but Hanwha's batting lineup was also blocked by Kiwoom starter Raul Alcantara's good pitching that day, so it was hard to cheer up. Instead of winning, Ryu Hyun-jin harvested a record that proved his consistency.

Ryu threw a maximum of 147 kilometers of fastballs, along with changeups (26), curves (11), and cutters (5).

A run was lost in the bottom of the first inning. He sent out leadoff hitter Song Sung-moon with an infield single and struck out Ruben Cadines, but Park Joo-hong hit a timely double. After that, he finished the inning by turning both Lim Ji-yeol and Lee Joo-hyung with a fly ball.




Ryu Hyun-jin, who finished the bottom of the second and third innings with three outs, got a hit after one out in the bottom of the fourth inning, but did not lose a run as Lim Ji-yeol's stolen base failed at the batter's box after catching the follow-up Lee Joo-hyung with a fly ball.

The record came in the bottom of the fifth inning. After one out, he struck out Oh Sun-jin after being hit by Eo Jun-seo. He then got a hit to the third base from Joo Sung-won's at-bat, but it led to an error, leading to a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second bases. However, he struck out Song Sung-moon. With Song Sung-moon's strikeout, Ryu Hyun-jin recorded his 100th strikeout this season. Ryu Hyun-jin, who made his debut in 2006, recorded triple-digit strikeouts during all nine seasons (2013-2023 in the Major League) in the KBO League.

This is the fourth record after Lee Kang-chul and Yang Hyun-jong and Jang Won-jun (10 seasons above).




Ryu Hyun-jin continued his good pitching in the bottom of the sixth inning by neatly arranging it with three batters.

He held on with one run until the sixth inning, but the batting line did not continue to support scoring. He gave up only one run in the top of the fourth inning, and eventually Ryu Hyun-jin handed over the mound to Park Sang-won in the bottom of the seventh inning when the score was 1-1. a game against a no-decision.
