Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman has won three Gold Glove Awards. While he was with the Oakland Athletics, he won the honor in 2018, 2019 and 2021.안전놀이터
He started playing in the Toronto uniform from last season, but is staying at 16th (1.5) in defensive WAR this season. It falls far behind Kim Ha-seong’s 2.2. But he still plays solid defense.
However, it is regrettable that Ryu Hyun-jin made a series of mistakes on the day of his mound and was unable to give power to Ryu Hyun-jin.
Chapman committed an error in a home game against the Cleveland Guardians, in which Ryu Hyun-jin started on the 27th (Korean time).
In the 6th inning, Ryu Hyun-jin met Jose Ramirez at first base. Ramirez pulled Hyunjin Ryu’s changeup hard. His batted ball flew hard in front of third baseman Chapman. However, Chapman, who won the Gold Glove three times, failed to catch this batted ball. If it was a double hit, Ryu Hyun-jin was able to digest 6 innings for the first time after his return.
There should be no second runners, but after becoming 1st and 2nd base, Ryu Hyun-jin met Oscar Gonzalez. The ball hit by Gonzalez went toward the shortstop. However, Santiago Espinal could not catch the ball.
When the bases were fully loaded, Ryu Hyun-jin gave up. He only threw 70, but manager John Schneider gave the mound to Garcia. Garcia threw a ball that hit the body to the first batter he faced, giving him one point for pushing away. Fortunately, all three subsequent batters were struck out and no more runs were allowed.
Ryu Hyun-jin on this dayIn 5 innings, he gave up 4 hits (including 2 home runs) and allowed 3 runs (2 earned). He struck out 5 with no walks. He became the winning pitcher as the team won 8-3. 3 wins in a row
Chapman also made a mistake in the game against the Cincinnati Reds on the 21st, when Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound.
In the second inning crisis with one company on first and third base, Ryu Hyun-jin caught Noel B Marte with a floating ball in left field. The runner on third base did not home. However, after Chapman cut the home throw in the middle, the ball he threw to second base to catch the runner on first base running to second base fell into the outfield. As a result, both runners stepped on home plate.
Chapman was also sluggish on offense. In the two games Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound, he had only one hit in eight at-bats.
