Hyun Jin Ryu, now 38, was a major signing for the Blue Jays with a four-year, $80 million contract in 2019. His presence helped the Jays improve their performance, notably leading the team in multiple pitching categories during the shortened 2020 season. Despite struggles in postseason play and injuries affecting his later seasons, Ryu's time in Toronto was marked by leadership, mentorship to younger players, and a notable pitching record. He later returned to Korea for another season post-Jays, reflecting a well-regarded career in MLB.
"He was a key figure in the Blue Jays' pitching rotation during his tenure, displaying both exemplary skills on the mound and leadership qualities off it."
"Ryu led the team in major pitching statistics during the 2020 season, showcasing his ability to elevate the team's performance despite challenges."
