With the ink now dry on a brand new $80 million dollar contract, Ryu can turn his attention to throwing more changeups in 2020, as the pitch was very effective. It averages just 80 mph, but hitters were limited to a .194/.212/.298 slash line and Ryu had 51 strikeouts with the pitch. Thrown 27% of the time, Ryu uses the pitch to keep hitters off balance and it works well in combination with the other pitches in his arsenal.
