Hyun-Jin Ryu

When healthy, Ryu has quietly been one of the best pitchers in baseball since his 2013 debut. But his preposterous year last season was surprising even for him. Ryu had the lowest BABIP-allowed on groundballs (just .162) of any pitcher in baseball in 2019, which led to just a 1.01 WHIP. Now in Toronto, that number is sure to rise precipitously and obviously have a negative impact on Ryu's 2020 numbers. That impact has been baked into Ryu's ADP at this point, so you won't have to buy him at his 2019 numbers. Just be prepared for regression.

Hyun-Jin Ryu inks four-year deal with the Blue Jays

Hyun-Jin Ryu agreed to a four-year, $80 million deal with the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Ryu gives the Blue Jays an ace they have been searching for all off-season. He had fantastic 2019, leading the majors in ERA (2.89). Ryu's fantasy value takes a hit, switching from the NL to the AL and pitching half his games at hitter-friendly Rogers Centre. He owned a 14-5 record, 2.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 163 strikeouts across 182 2/3 innings pitched for the Dodgers last season. With a switch to leagues and a new supporting cast, it will be tough for Ryu to repeat his dominant 2019 campaign.
