The first Asian player
The American daily newspaper’The Oklahoma’ reported on the 22nd that “Ryu Hyun-jin was selected as the 2020 Season Warrance Edition winner.” The Warrence Edition Selection Committee revealed the reason for the selection, saying, “Ryu Hyun-jin performed remarkably in the difficult environment caused by the spread of Corona 19.” This is the first time an Asian player has won the Warrence Edition.
The Warrence Pansang was active in the Boston Braves, the predecessor of MLB Atlanta, from 1942 to 1965. It was established by the Sports Museum. It is an award given to the left-handed pitcher who performed the most outstanding performance in a season, and the winner was often awarded the Cy Young Award for the best pitcher of the year.
Starting with Kim Byeong-hyun (41) and Randy Johnson (retired, 1999-2002 season), who played together in Arizona, Ryu Hyun-jin’s former LA Dodgers co-worker Clayton Kershaw (2011, 2013-2014, 2017 season), CC Sabasia (retired 2007- 2009 season) and other MLB’s best left-handed pitchers received this award. The top prize is Johnson and Kershaw’s fourth episode. Ryu Hyun-jin, who was a member of the Dodgers, ranked first in the MLB average ERA last season (2.32, 14 wins, 5 losses), and won the Warrence Edition after the season seemed likely. However, I was grateful to Washington’s Patrick Corbin (14-7 with an ERA of 3.25), who led the World Series victory last year. Ryu Hyun-jin, who was qualified as a free agent (FA) and wore a Toronto uniform, was reduced to 60 games (previously 162 games) due to Corona 19 and played a decent performance with an ERA of 5-2 and an ERA of 2.69 this season. Among all left-handed pitchers, it is the 3rd in many wins and 2nd in ERA. In the midst of Ryu Hyun-jin, who was in charge of Ace, Toronto entered the postseason four years after 2016. It seems that the selection committee also highly appreciated the appearance of Ryu Hyun-jin, who showed leadership in difficult circumstances, such as temporarily using the stadium in New York State in the United States because it was impossible to use the home stadium in Canada due to Corona 19.
The awards ceremony was not held due to concerns about the spread of Corona 19, so it was impossible to see Ryu Hyun-jin winning. Ryu Hyun-jin, who is spending non-seasonal training after returning home, is also known to have received news of the award through an article.
