The last 5th game of the playoffs. You have to go all out.

Hanwha Eagles head coach Kim Kyung-moon's all-out game was to pour out the best one-two punch.

Ahead of the fifth PO match against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 24th, head coach Kim said about the pitcher's management, `We will end with two foreign players.'

The starting pitcher for the day is Cody Ponce. It means that Ryan Weiss will win Game 5 and go to the Korean Series.

Ponce is the best pitcher in the KBO League this season everyone knows. He tied for first place with seven wins, with a 1.89 ERA, the highest record ever with 252 strikeouts, and the first place with a 0.944 winning percentage, winning four gold medals.

Weiss is a one-two punch who led Hanwha's starting lineup with Ponce. He also showed tremendous pitching to the extent that he was called the second and third pitchers in the KBO League.

Weiss, who pitched in 30 games, ranked third with multiple wins with 16 wins and sixth overall with a 2.87 ERA. He also came in fourth with 207 strikeouts. He ranked second after Ponce with a 0.762 win rate.

In innings, Ponce was second overall with 180 ⅔ innings, and Weiss was third with 178 ⅔ innings. Weiss performed better than the ace of most teams.

The possibility of Moon Dong-joo, who became a winning pitcher by pitching Ryu Hyun-jin and Jung Woo-ju in Game 3 with four innings as non-players on the day, seemed to increase, but it was not.

Asked about Moon Dong-ju's possibility to take the mound, head coach Kim said, `"Today is not the end of baseball." I threw more than 50 on that day," he said, expressing the need for management for the future.

Coach Kim vowed to put Kim Seo-hyun on the mound at the end of Game 5 after Game 4 two days ago, but Kim Seo-hyun's closing appearance on the day was not possible as he changed his plan to finish with Ponce-WICE before the game.

Coincidentally, both Ponce and Weiss are expected to be a revenge stage for self-esteem recovery to clean up the playoff slump.

Although Ponce became a winning pitcher in the first game, he had seven hits (one home run), one walk, eight strikeouts and six runs (five earned) in six innings, and Weiss also took the mound as a starter in the second game, but he became a losing pitcher with nine hits, two walks, four strikeouts and five runs in four innings.
