Bauer is most dependant on his four-seamer but the pitch took a big step back in 2019, with a .430 wOBAcon against it, after the pitch garnered a .316 wOBACon in 2018.
Much like Soroka, Ryu pitches for weak contact and whenever he is on the mound he seems to always be a quality pitcher. He also contributed with his bat, launching the first home run of his major-league career in the fifth inning. 08/02/2019: Los Angeles Dodgers placed LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu on the 10-day injured list retroactive to August 1, 2019. Ryu's recent form might not make him the must-start option he's been all season, but it's worth noting his last three turns came against three offenses (Braves, Yankees and Diamondbacks) that all rank in the top half of the majors in team wRC+. You can check out my weekly Top 101 Relief Pitcher Baller Ranks as well. Additionally, he set or tied career bests in wins, WHIP and strikeouts during 2019.
08/11/2019: Los Angeles Dodgers activated LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu from the 10-day injured list. After an amazing 2018 campaign, Bauer turned in an extremely disappointing year for both his MLB and fantasy owners and was traded to the Cincinnati Reds mid-season. His 14.6 pitches per inning are extremely low but not surprising as he was masterful on the mound in 2019.

At 32 years old, Ryu isn't necessarily in his prime any longer, but he will provide a nice boost to the front end of the rotation and should be a nice mentor to some of the younger pitchers the organization is trying to develop for the future.The 32-year-old will take the mound for Game 3 of the NLDS carrying a 2.32 ERA with a 163:24 K:BB through the regular season.
