Ponce started the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 3rd and continued his unbeaten streak by winning his ninth victory of the season with two hits, one walk and seven strikeouts in six innings.토토사이트
Ponce started the first inning with two ground balls and one strikeout, but ended the second inning with three batters. After getting his first hit by Park Min-seok with one out in the top of the third inning, he allowed a hit by Kim Min-hyuk after two outs, which put him on the verge of scoring a run, but he did not yield a run.
There has been no major crisis since then. He allowed a walk to Jang Song-woo, the leadoff batter, in the fifth inning, but managed to finish the game with three batters again by hitting a double play.
The team's batters gave solid support to the scorers. The score was 9-0, and Ponce ended the game by striking out Kwon Dong-jin in the sixth inning, disposing of his pinch-hitting unit with a fly ball to Junghoon Lee and a fly ball to left field. He pitched 91 pitches, with a maximum speed of 155 km.
It was Ponce's 13th appearance of the season. He also garnered his ninth win. What's more surprising is that he is continuing his unbeaten streak.
His performance is amazing, too. His earned run average (ERA) decreased from 1.94 to 1.80. He has 112 strikeouts. He thus ranks No. 1 in overall number of wins, earned run average (ERA) and strikeouts.
At this pace, the pitcher's triple crown is worth trying.
They are literally eating into the KBO League. Japan seems to be surprised, too.
Ponce played for Japan for three years before coming to Korea. He joined the Nippon-Ham and Rakuten teams and posted 10 wins, 16 losses and an ERA of 4.54 during the three seasons.
However, I am writing a success story in Korea.
Japan's Full Count published an article under the title, "A pitcher with an ERA of 6 points reigned as the strongest pitcher with three wins in Korea."
"When he was at Nippon Ham, Ponce achieved a no-hitter against Softbank on Aug. 27, 2022, in his first year as an NPB player, and recorded 7-10 record with an ERA of 3.47 in 24 games during two seasons. Last year, he moved to Rakuten and was sluggish in 15 games with 3-6 record with an ERA of 6.72. After becoming an FA player, he moved to KBO," the media said, pointing to Ponce's performance in Japan first.
"At the beginning of June, he has achieved remarkable results by winning three gold medals in victory, ERA, and strikeouts. He also won the monthly MVP award for two consecutive months," he said.
"He got off to a good start by winning his first game of the season by pitching seven innings and two runs in his KBO debut game. Since then, he has been on a roll. He has won seven consecutive starts since April 9," he said. "He showed perfect pitching by continuing no-hitter with two outs in the eighth inning against SSG on May 17, and set a new KBO record by scoring as many as 18 strikeouts in eight innings."
Full Count nodded, "He is continuing his overwhelming pitching as the No. 1 player in the league. The 31-year-old former NPB player is showing great performance on the new stage."
