If you’re getting sick of hearing about Hyun-Jin Ryu, well, we’re still looking at just under two more months until Spring Training gets underway, so the excitement about the Blue Jays’ newest starting pitcher likely isn’t going away any time soon.
The 32-year-old is coming off an excellent year with the Dodgers, and one that saw him finish second in the NL Cy Young Award voting. He posted a record of 14-5 with an NL leading 2.32 ERA, and a 1.007 WHIP across 182.2 innings. His effort was good enough to earn him an All-Star birth, the aforementioned 2nd place finish in Cy Young voting, and even had him finish 19th in MVP voting.
