Dodgers: Ryu Could Be the Best Fifth Starter in Baseball
Dodgers LHP Hyun Jin Ryu could become one of the best number five starters in baseball this year if he continues to build off of his strong finish to the 2017 season.
Hyun Jin Ryu was once considered one of the best pitchers on the Dodgers. Now, he is a forgotten man who is fighting to find a role on the 25 man roster. Signed out of Korea in 2013 Ryu is now entering the last year of his 6 year $36 million deal. Ryu came to the United States with some pretty high expectations looking to follow in the footsteps of other Dodger Asian pitchers who had great success like Hideo Nomo, Chan Ho Park and Hiroki Kuroda.
