Hanwha Eagles, who have lost five consecutive games, are aiming to escape consecutive losses with Cody Ponce at the forefront.

Hanwha will play the first of three consecutive weekend games against SSG Landers at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 22nd.

The Hanwha Eagles announced the starting pitcher Cody Ponce, the "super ace". Ponce has 15 wins, no losses, and an ERA of 1.61 in 23 appearances this season. He is the best pitcher in the KBO League this season.




He pitched seven scoreless innings against the Lotte Giants on the 12th, his most recent appearance, and his pitching schedule was delayed due to enteritis and cold symptoms. And he will pitch against SSG on the same day, 10 days after resting on the 9th.

His performance against SSG this season was also outstanding. In the previous three showdowns with SSG, he recorded an overwhelming performance of three wins, no losses, and an ERA of 0.41.

Hanwha has lost five consecutive games since the match against the Changwon NC Dinos on the 16th. In particular, he is concentrated on his fifth consecutive loss as he lost a sweep of three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears at home in Daejeon this week. The gap with the No. 1 LG Twins also widened to 4.5 games.




Hanwha will continue the same as the game against Doosan on the 21st without any change in the starting lineup. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who met with reporters before the game, said, `There is no change in the lineup. I'm going the same as the day before." Designated hitter Son Ah-seop and center fielder Liberato set up No. 1 and 2, while left fielder Moon Hyun-bin, third baseman Noh Si-hwan and first baseman Chae Eun-sung were placed as clean-up trio.

Ha Joo-seok came out as the starting second baseman and was placed as the sixth batter, while catcher Choi Jae-hoon, right fielder Lee Won-seok and shortstop Shim Woo-joon will take the lower offense at No. 7-9.

The starting pitcher for SSG that Hanwha should face is Choi Min-joon. He is playing as a bullpen and an alternative starter this season, and he lost two runs in three innings against LG on the 17th. His record against Hanwha this season was two games, three ⅓ and no runs.
