Cody Ponce (USA), who is also familiar to Korean fans, seems to be joining the Hanwha Eagles.

Citing U.S. sources, YouTuber Daniel Kim said on his channel on Tuesday, "Ponce's joining the Hanwha Eagles seems almost certain." He also said he heard that he was undergoing a physical examination.

Ponce made his big league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2020. A right-hander who is 198 cm tall and weighs 116 kg, he has gone 1-7 with a 5.86 ERA in 20 major league games.바카라사이트

In 2022, he joined Nippon Ham in the Japanese pro baseball league, and pitched in 14 games in his first year, recording three wins, five losses and an earned run average of 3.35. In a game against the Softbank Hawks on Aug. 27, he pitched nine scoreless innings (six strikeouts with two outs) to achieve a no-hitter.

Last year, he went 4-5 with a 3.66 ERA in 10 games, but failed to renew his contract with Nippon Ham.

This year, he played for Rakuten and posted a 6.72 ERA.

Ponce participated in the Premier 12 held in Tokyo, Japan in 2019 as the U.S. representative and took the mound as the starting pitcher against Korea. He was sluggish with five hits (one homer) and one walk and three runs in three ⅓ innings, allowing Kim Jae-hwan to hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning.
