"You can always ask anyone who is heading towards MVP."

'Prince Daejeon' Moon Dong-ju's first half was successful. On the 8th, he won the game against the KIA Tigers by allowing three runs in five innings. He won seven games in the first half. Eight wins in the 2023 season, when he won the Rookie of the Year award, was the most won by an individual. Last year, he won only seven games in a season. You can't let your guard down, but it's safe to say that he won his first 10 wins in career high.

Moon Dong-ju is still a young pitcher in his fourth year, although he has boasted tremendous ball power since he was a rookie and was recognized as an ace talent who will lead Korean baseball. I'm at an age where I have a lot to learn. It is lucky for Moon Dong-joo to have a big shot named Ryu Hyun-jin next to him, but it is also good to meet foreign ace Ponce this year.

Ponce has an ERA of 1.95 with 11 wins and no losses in 18 games in Hanwha's uniform this season. The best selection in the KBO League in the 2025 season. Since Hanwha is in first place, Ponce's chances of winning MVP will also increase at this pace.

Moon Dong-ju is said to be the most compatible person in Ponce and private. Moon Dong-ju "Actually, I rarely talk about baseball in private. Ponce is very interested in speaking Korean these days. I teach you a lot. If you want to get close to foreigners quickly, don't you just have to tell them a lot of bad things. So I taught him a lot of bad words.Also, Ponce seems to be into Korean dramas these days. I don't know what kind of drama it is, but he came to me and tried to reenact the scene where he slapped me and broke up with me because he saw and learned from it," he said, introducing the back story and giving a laugh.

Of course, they talk about baseball when they come to the ballpark. Dong-ju Moon said, `We talk a lot about baseball, too. It's good to have someone next to you who can ask when something happens and you have questions. And isn't he on his way to the KBO League MVP now. It's really nice that the player gives advice. "I study by sharing how to hold the grip and how I feel when I throw the ball..." he explained.




Will Moon Dong-ju, who met Ponce, be able to fly in the second half of this season. "Seven wins in the first half was enough," Moon said. I don't think I can tell you my numerical goal for this season. If you win nine, I'll tell you then."
