Korean left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu spoke to the media Friday (5 March) after allowing just one run to Baltimore in two innings pitched of the Toronto Blue Jays' Spring Training game against the Orioles "For my first outing today I felt pretty good I was getting the strikes I needed to, the home run that I gave up, obviously it was a missed pitch but overall, I felt pretty good today " "Nothing really changed, to be honest I'm preparing pretty well for the season After the game I threw another extra 15 pitches, just another process in order to build myself up towards the season I should be ready for at least three innings my next outing " ( on his responsibility as staff ace on Toronto) "To be honest, I don't really think about that too much Our pitching staff, the starters, the relief guys they all have all this potential so I don't think it is that big of a responsibility in one sense but at the end of the day our pitching staff is pretty good so I'm not concerned about the responsibility " "To be honest, I could throw all my pitches right now, my secondary as well, but at this time of camp I'm just worried about my pitch count - I just want to make sure that my pitch count is up I could throw all of my secondary pitches right now so that's not a big deal for me " "Obviously there is going to be competition but at the end of the day it's just to make sure I get ready for the season, bring up my physical condition to be able to compete during the season "
