He showed off his powerful pitching, but he didn't come back.
Hanwha Eagles foreign pitcher Cody Ponce started in the second game of the season against the Lotte Giants in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 3rd.
Ponce took the mound for the third time this season. He has one win and an earned run average of 3.00 in two games (12 innings). At the match against the Daejeon KIA Tigers on March 28, he garnered his debut win in the KBO league by pitching seven hits (one homer) and allowing eight strikeouts and two runs with one out. He is the hero of the historic first win at a new stadium in Daejeon.
He got off to a good start in the first inning and pitched Jeon Joon-woo to fly ball to right field, before striking out Jung-hoon and Na Seung-yeop neatly. He started off with a hit by Victor Reyes in the second inning, but grounded out Kim Min-sung to the third base, struck out Yoon Dong-hee, and grounded out Lee Ho-joon to the first base.
There was no problem in the third inning, either. After one out, he cooked Jeon In-geun and Jeon Jun-woo with a clean swing and miss. Five out of nine outs were strikeouts.
He finished the fourth inning without losing a point, but the fifth inning was a problem. He got a hit by leadoff hitter Yoon Dong-hee and a double by Lee Ho-joon, making him second and third base with no outs. He struck out Jeon Min-jae with three pitches, but allowed two runs in the fifth inning with a timely RBI to Information Geun and a sacrifice fly by Jeon Joon-woo.
In the sixth inning, he started the game by swinging a fly ball to the second base. He had a double by Reyes, but struck out Kim Min-sung, then grounded out to first. He also gave up no runs in the seventh inning, completing his mission. 스포츠토토
However, Ponce failed to smile. As he came down from a tight 2-2 situation, he failed to meet the requirements to become a winning pitcher. He pitched seven innings of good pitching, allowing five hits, two outs and 10 strikeouts, but no return was made. With the maximum speed of 155 km, he selected and threw fastballs (46), sliders (26), two-seam (9), change-up (9), and curveball (6). He threw 96 pitches.
Despite the ace's good pitching, the lineup remained silent today, and Hanwha lost 2-4.
Nonetheless, Ponce is establishing himself as the ace pitcher as Hanwha expected. Ahead of the upcoming season, Ponce is a foreign player who is wearing Hanwha's uniform for a total of 1 million U.S. dollars. Ponce boasts fastballs that come out of his 198-centimeter-tall stature, and has various pitching styles and comprehensive ball control.
Ponce recorded one win, seven losses and a 5.86 ERA in 20 U.S. Major League games (55 ⅓ innings). In addition, Ponce also played for the Nippon Ham Fighters and Rakuten Golden Eagles in the Japanese professional baseball league, where he recorded 10 wins, 16 losses and a 4.54 ERA in 39 games (202 innings).
In the exhibition game, he also recorded a 0 ERA with 10 strikeouts in two games (9 innings), and continues to play well in three games with 1 win and 22 strikeouts in 2.84 ERA.
