Hanwha Eagles and Kiwoom Heroes will face off at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 22nd.
I got to meet him after taking a good rest for two days. On the 20th and 21st, rain was canceled due to the rainy season.
On the 22nd, all the rain clouds were cleared and the sun rose. The ground was all dry, and Hanwha players began to conduct outdoor training early on.
Hanwha foreshadowed Cody Ponce as its starting pitcher for the third consecutive game.
Ponce had nine wins, no losses and a 2.16 ERA in 15 games this season. He is playing as the best ace in the KBO league, starting quality starts (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs) in 10 out of 15 games. In particular, he recorded 18 strikeouts in the KBO League regular innings against SSG on the 17th of last month.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `I think the pitching coach should ask Ponce about the starting pitcher if it is canceled before the decision to cancel the rain is made on the 21st. Ponce and Weiss (who are scheduled to start on the 22nd) are both throwing well. But I think I should ask Ponce, who started first, and then decide" he said.

Liberato, who joined Hanwha as a short-term foreign player for six weeks due to the injury of Esteban Floral, was registered in the first-team entry on the 20th and was listed in the starting lineup as a second batter and center fielder for two days.
Kiwoom replaced its starting pitcher for the third straight day. On the 20th, Raul Alcantara was announced, but on the 21st, it was changed to Jeong Hyeon-u. As the game was canceled in rain on the 21st, Alcantara was put up as the starting pitcher on the 22nd.
Alcantara, who won 20 games for Doosan in 2020, is throwing the ball as a Kiwoom player at the start of June this year. Alcantara made quality starts in all three games and went 2-1 with a 1.35 ERA.
