Honey is dripping from my eyes. Ponce, who broke his losing streak and roared, and pitching coach who smiled at his father even after bickering with the catcher

Aug 01, 2025

Honey fell from the eyes of pitcher coach Yang Sang-moon looking at ace Ponce.

Ace Ponce, who took the lead in breaking the losing streak, entered the dugout and bickered with catcher Choi Jae-hoon in the middle of coach Yang Sang-moon.

'Why are you scolding me when I threw well, it's okay?' An important game where I had to cut the losing streak, honey fell from the eyes of the pitching coach looking at ace Ponce.

Ponce, who had to be scolded by veteran catcher Choi Jae-hoon despite his scoreless pitching, exchanged bickering jokes with the pitching coach in the middle.

Ponce throwing with full confidence in the veteran catcher's lead. Even if the opposing pitch came out, the opposing batters' bats were in vain due to strong ball power. Choi Jae-hoon pointed out the opposite pitch because he wanted to play a prank on Ponce, who pitched scoreless, but he also made Yang Sang-moon, who was watching in response without losing Ponce, smile.

Coach Yang Sang-moon smiled broadly and gave generous compliments as if he were two children fighting over his father in the middle. When Ponce, who was about to leave, forgot to greet him and approached him again to greet him 90 degrees, honey fell out of the coach Yang Sang-moon's eyes.

Coach Yang Sang-moon looked at Ponce with a father's smile, who knows how to take care of his colleagues first as well as his outstanding skills.

It is really difficult to find a foreign pitcher like this just by looking at his skills. Ponce is a great player not only with his outstanding skills but also with his work ethic, which puts his team and teammates first.

On the eve of the mound, Ponce sat in front of the dugout with a good view of the opposing pitcher and batter, meticulously taking notes and thoroughly prepared. He was caught on camera preparing hard.

On the previous 29th, Ponce came in front of the dugout and carefully took notes when watching the swings of Samsung hitters.

Ponce, who has excellent skills and preparedness, took the mound and proved it with the results.

Unbeaten pitcher Ponce overwhelmed Samsung's batters with his fastball of up to 158 kilometers. Ponce, who visited veteran Choi Jae-hoon, who wore heavy catcher equipment and received his ball to the end amid the heat wave, was a true ace who knew how to take care of his teammates first.

It was a reliable Ponce that saved Hanwha, which had lost three consecutive games and was trailing second-place LG by two games. Ponce, who took the mound as the starting pitcher for the Hanwha Eagles and the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 30th, blocked the Samsung batters with no runs with his strong ball power.

Before the game, Ponce pitched in 20 games and recorded a record of 127.2 innings with 12 wins and no losses with a 1.76 strikeouts. Ponce is displaying overwhelming pitching without losing a single game. In the last five games, Ponce was more perfect. He has three wins and no losses in five games and 31.2 innings with an ERA of 0.57. From the perspective of the opposing team, Ponce is not the kind of pitcher he wants to meet.

Hanwha Ponce, who overwhelmed Samsung's batters, roared.

On the mound, Ponce, who was like a beast, welcomed his teammate who scored with a bright expression.

Hanwha starter Ponce, who took the mound against Samsung for the first time this season, was shaken by allowing hits to Kim Sung-yoon and Diaz in the first inning, but he did not allow a run with strong ball power. There was also a crisis in the third inning, but there were fielders behind starter Ponce. At the moment of crisis with no outs and runners on the first and third bases, first baseman Chae Eun-sung connected Kim Sung-yoon's infield grounder to a double play, roaring Ponce. Ponce, who struck out Koo Ja-wook after two outs, expressed his gratitude to first baseman Chae Eun-sung.

Ponce gave a warm hug to Liberato, a foreign hitter who hit a home run.

Heart for No. 4 hitter Noh Si-hwan.

As Ponce dragged the game without losing a point, Hanwha batters also scored the first run with three consecutive long balls to support the starting pitcher. In the third inning, when Liberato and Noh Si-hwan's solo shot exploded, Ponce, who was cooling off, ran out and welcomed his teammates fiercely.

Ponce, who recorded 99 pitches with eight strikeouts without allowing six innings, approached veteran catcher Choi Jae-hoon as soon as he entered the dugout and expressed his gratitude. Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach, looked pleased at Ponce, who took care of his teammates first.
