Hyun-jin Ryu has earned the Dodgers’ trust

Hyun-jin Ryu has enjoyed a renaissance season for the Los Angeles Dodgers, his finest campaign since having two years wiped away with shoulder and elbow injuries. He’s looking again like the big-game pitcher he was in his first two seasons in the majors.

Ryu was fantastic for the Dodgers this season, walking only 15 batters in his 15 starts while posting a 1.97 ERA that among pitchers with at least 10 starts ranked third in the majors behind only Jacob deGrom (1.70) and Blake Snell (1.89).

“He just knows how to pitch. He has four pitches, he commands the ball, he throws to all four corners. He has the ability to change speeds, throw strikes where he wants to throw strikes, expand when he wants to expand,” said third baseman Justin Turner. “He’s been really special this year. He’s put together an outstanding season for us. It’s unfortunate he hurt his groin and had to shut it down for a couple months, or we might be talking about him for the Cy Young Award.”

Ryu at Dodger Stadium posted a minuscule 1.15 ERA, allowing no runs in five of his nine home starts.
