The new record march continues. Now I've looked at 'normal'

Cody Ponce (31, Hanwha Eagles) won his 17th game of the season with six hits and eight strikeouts in six innings against the Kiwoom Heroes at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 13th.

He continued his reputation as an undefeated pitcher. Since the opening, he has won 17 consecutive games without losing once. The previous record for most consecutive wins at the opening was 14 consecutive wins by Hyundai's Jung Min-tae in 2003 and KIA's Hector Noesi in 2017. Ponce added three wins to this.




This season, Ponce continues to break KBO league pitching records. In the first game of the doubleheader against Daejeon SSG on May 17, he struck out 18 times, setting a new record for the most strikeouts in nine innings. In addition, in the match against NC on the 3rd, Doosan Ariel Miranda exceeded the most strikeouts (225) in a season in 2021. Ponce, who added eight strikeouts on the 13th, had 236 strikeouts, raising expectations for the birth of the first 250 strikeouts in the KBO League.

With the current momentum, he is even looking at the birth of the first unbeaten multiple wins in the KBO League.

After the game on the 13th, Ponce said, `All the power of my good pitching comes from my teammates,' adding, `All my wins were with the help of my teammates. In fact, I was able to win today thanks to Choi Jae-hoon's good lead, good defense by fielders, and a lot of scoring support" he expressed his gratitude.




Ponce continued "I want to give my team-mates the meaning of the winning streak. I'm going to do my best to pitch as always in the rest of the season.

Hanwha narrowed its gap with the leading LG Twins to 2.5 games as it caught the game on the 13th. As there are three consecutive matches against each other, it is possible to regain the lead. At the same time, he also approached the second place.

Ponce also looked at fall baseball. Ponce said "The remaining goal is to win the Korean Series. I think it can be achieved if we enjoy the game like we have until the end and don't lose our faith because we have great teammates. I will also do my best to win our team."




In the bottom of the fifth inning, Kim Tae-yeon was hit by a ball in the face. Kim Tae-yeon was immediately taken to the hospital, and fortunately, he avoided major injuries.

Ponce even showed companionship, saying, `I will cheer for Kim Tae-yeon, who was hit by a dune today, to be able to stand on the ground together as soon as possible.'
