Hanwha Eagles have lost four consecutive games. Although Cody Ponce is said to have been out for a few days, he has exposed the overall difficulty of hitting offensive defense pitches.

Hanwha lost 9-13 to the Doosan Bears in the 2025 KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 20th. Hanwha collapsed helplessly with poor defense and poor batting amid the early replacement of substitute starter Cho Dong-wook. It has moved away from the first-place LG Twins by four games. The possibility of losing second place is extremely slim, but considering the continuity until the postseason, a clear settlement is needed.

It was a period when only Ponce's vacancy was felt desperately.




Ponce is a special foreigner who allowed Hanwha to fight for the lead this season. He played 145 ⅔ innings in 23 games with 15 wins and no losses with a 1.61 ERA. The same goes for Weiss. He went 13-3 with a 2.95 ERA. Hanwha, where Ponce Weiss holds out, did not lose three consecutive games.

A crack occurred when Ponce exposed his physical limit during the four-day rest appearance. Ponce has not pitched more than 140 innings in his career. Management was essential because he threw the most innings of his life this year. Hanwha decided to avoid Ponce's Tuesday-Sunday appearance in the second half as much as possible. So, he did not appear in the game against NC on the 17th after pitching against Lotte on the 12th.

But at this time, Ponce had enteritis. It has become difficult to return in a day or two due to diarrhea and high fever symptoms. Ponce's appearance was pushed back from the 17th to the 19th and again to the 22nd.




Hanwha lost one strong axis due to the absence of consecutive loser Ponce. Weiss card was broken on the 19th. Hanwha lost four consecutive games from the 16th to the 20th.

It is understandable that the match against NC on the 16th and 17th was the day of the substitute starting pitcher.

On the 19th and 20th, Doosan's defense errors poured in. The tight organization of the second-place team is missing.




In the top of the first inning of the 19th, center fielder Liberato caused a run due to a home throwing error.

On the 20th, the follow-up pitchers collapsed after starter Cho Dong-wook stepped down after two ⅓ innings. Basic defense was more of a problem than pitching.

Second pitcher Kim Jong-soo made a tag miss by entering the home cover. He failed to tag Yang Eui-ji, the runner who walked in. In the top of the sixth inning, pitcher Joo Hyun-sang made a mistake. He committed a bad pitch to the first base due to the pitcher's grounder. It gave me a score that I didn't have to give.

Hanwha followed 7-9 with a late batter's box. Although he was two points behind, he had a winning move to raise Park Sang-won, a must-win group, in the top of the eighth inning. Park Sang-won also made an inaccurate throw to the first base without checking the third baseman in a ground ball situation for pitchers with one out and runners on the second and third bases. The willingness to chase was completely dampened by dedicating additional points.
