Cody Ponce succeeded in restoring his honor perfectly.

Ponce started Game 5 of the postseason playoff against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 24th and recorded five hits, two walks and nine strikeouts in five innings. The total number of pitches is 82.

Ponce, who was the best pitcher in the regular season, lost his pride in the playoffs.




Ponce, who recorded 17 wins and 1 loss with a 1.89 ERA in 29 regular-season games, became a four-time pitcher (multi-win average ERA strikeout). He also set a new KBO league record by striking out 252. It's the best pitcher of all time

He was the best pitcher in the regular season, but his first fall baseball start was not good. He started Game 1 and was sluggish with seven hits (one home run), one walk, eight strikeouts and six runs (five earned) in six innings.

His first appearance wasn't good, but he's still the most reliable pitcher in Hanwha. Ahead of Game 5, Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon said, `We will end the day with Ponce and Weiss" he said.

The first inning was not very good. Kim Ji-chan and Kim Sung-yoon caught them in turn, but Koo Ja-wook's infield hit brought them on base. Then, with Lewin Diaz's hit and Kim Young-woong's walk, the bases are on the verge of being loaded. However, he ended the inning by making Kim Tae-hoon swing and miss with a changeup in 2S.

A run was eventually lost in the top of the second inning. Leadoff hitter Lee Jae-hyun hit a double, and Kang Min-ho's true hit came out Ryu Ji-hyuk struck out, but he became safe when the third base runner came home when he came out of So Ji-chan's at-bat. Hanwha's defensive judgment was also disappointing. If you threw to the first base and raised the outcount, the inning was over, but you threw too hard and eventually scored without tagging.

He was hit by leadoff hitter Kim Sung-yoon in the top of the third inning. Koo Ja-wook's strikeout and Diaz's pitching groundout caught two out-counts. In the match against Kim Young-woong, he finished the inning by intentionally filtering out Kim Tae-hoon with four pitches and catching Kim Tae-hoon with a mistake.




He also had a leadoff hit in the top of the fourth inning. However, Kang Min-ho, pinch hitter Jeon Byung-woo, and Kim Ji-chan all returned and did not lose a point.

He finally threw an overwhelming pitch in the top of the fifth inning. Kim Sung-yoon, Koo Ja-wook, and Diaz all turned around to make the first three-out inning.

Ponce went down as scheduled in the top of the sixth inning with a 7-1 lead and Weiss came up.
