"Such competition is a very good thing."

Will the best one-two punch in KBO League history be born.

The momentum of Hanwha Eagles is scary. On the 17th, he beat the Lotte Giants and won five consecutive games. It's the lead. It widened the gap with the second-place LG Twins to 1.5 games.




Weiss was at the heart of it. Weiss took the mound as a starter against Lotte and became the winning pitcher by pitching hard with nine strikeouts and no runs in eight innings. It is an overwhelming performance with 9 wins and 2 losses and a 2.83 ERA for the season.

The power of one-two punch is great. If two starters are certain, the team can increase its chances of entering fall baseball. It is the biggest driver of Hanwha's rise.

Ace Ponce is 9-0 with a 2.16 ERA and overwhelming enough to wonder why he came to the KBO League. It was because he was overshadowed by Ponce's light from the opening, Weiss also consistently pitched well. Then, in the end, he caught up with Ponce, a multi-win competition. The three, including NC Dinos Riley, are tied for the lead in multiple wins.

"Such a rivalry is a very good thing," Weiss said of Ponce's shoulder to shoulder in the multiplier, adding that good-faith competition leads to good stimulation. Then "The selection should somehow contribute to the team's victory. He said he will do his best in every game focusing on the present rather than the future.

Hanwha insiders say that Weiss is getting better this year with Ponce's joining. It is said that it is receiving know-how in preparing for the game, such as the routine of top pitcher Ponce. Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach, said, `If Ponce is a really overwhelming pitcher with power, Weiss is a player who knows how to throw a fast ball without much effort. In that respect, we may get a better evaluation."

The two of them won nine games each even though the first half is not over yet. If they win more than 15 games side by side, it will not be strange at all even if they win the strongest one-two punch title in the KBO League history. The performance is also good, but both pitchers throw overwhelming fastballs of more than 150 kilometers, making them the best ever in terms of pressure. SSG Landers White has already compared himself and Anderson's one-two punch, saying, `I have no choice but to admit that Hanwha's one-two punch is the best.'




Ponce is the pitcher he recruited expecting to do this, and the big twist is Weiss. After becoming a short-term replacement last year and becoming an official player, he succeeded in renewing his contract this year and is performing the best. Hanwha fans nicknamed Weiss with long hair 'Daejeon Jesus' Weiss is "I am a Christian god. The nickname Jesus is too much for me. It's a great honor for me personally," he said with a bright smile.
