In tears, Ryu asked the pitcher who broke his own record, "One more inning?" It was a pleasant joke. Ryu immediately hugged Ponce and congratulated him on the milestone.카지노사이트

Hanwha Eagles' "Monster Pitcher" Cody Ponce set a new record with an overwhelming pitch that will remain in KBO history.

Ponce started Game 1 of a doubleheader against SSG Landers at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 17th and led his team to victory with a powerful force that allowed only two hits and struck out as many as 18 in eight innings.

Ponce's 18 strikeouts are a new KBO record based on 9 innings, and regardless of innings, it is the most strikeouts in a game.

Ponce, who also took the mound in the eighth inning, is cheering for McBroom's check swing toward the first base.

The previous record for the most strikeouts in nine innings was 17, which Ryu Hyun-jin set against Cheongju LG on May 11, 2010. In addition, it is a record that matches the 18 strikeouts recorded by Sun Dong-yeol in 13 innings at the matchless Binggrae on June 19, 1991.

Before the game, Ponce was playing as the team's ace with an overwhelming record of eight wins and no losses in 10 games. Ponce, who said earlier in the season that he wanted to break Ryu's strikeout record, made his dream come true.

Ryu, who sincerely congratulated his junior who broke his own record for the first time in 15 years, threw 124 pitches during nine innings when he set the record. With the division of labor now in place, pitchers can hardly afford to throw unless they have a no-hitter or a perfect game to play. Sun Dong-yeol's 18K in 13 innings and Ryu Hyun-jin's 17K in 9 innings were truly unbreakable.
During the interview after the game, Ponce said, "I am very proud and proud that Ryu Hyun-jin recorded his milestone in the same team mate and at the same Hanwha home game." Ryu gave a warm hug to Ponce, who broke his own record, and congratulated him sincerely.

"One more inning of phone service?"
When Ponce came down after 113 pitches until the eighth inning, Ryu Hyun-jin raised his index finger with a playful look and asked, "One more inning?" Ponce smiled broadly at Ryu Hyun-jin's prank, and Ryu gave a warm hug to Ponce and sincerely congratulated his record-breaking "junior."

Ponce said, "I knew Ryu Hyun-jin set a lot of records, but I couldn't remember exactly how many strikeouts he had. Still, I thought I was close to a new record by the seventh inning," he recalled of that moment.

Coach Yang Sang-moon allowed it with a smile when Ponce, who had a no-hit march until the seventh inning, also expressed his intention to take the mound in the eighth inning.

Coach Yang calls the bullpen right away
Yang Sang-moon's consideration also shone. "Coach Yang knew what I meant today. He didn't ask me to stop throwing, and he also told me that he came to see my face in the eighth inning," Ponce said, expressing his gratitude. "I had several experiences as a career player, but I didn't feel pressured because the eighth and ninth innings were not easy."

Coach Kim Kyung-moon also unusually approached Ponce and gave him a congratulatory handshake.
After striking out for the 17th time, Ponce turned around and wiped away tears on the mound. It was an unusual sight. Asked how he felt at the time, Ponce said, "It reminded me of my mother, who passed away in 2017. If my mother had seen me in the stands, she would have been very proud, but at that moment, I remembered her watching from the sky."

When asked what he wanted to talk to his mother, Ponce smiled brightly and replied, "I love you, Mom. And now I want to tell you that I can watch it because it's on TV." He missed his late mother, saying, "When I was in the minor leagues, there was no TV broadcast, so when I was alive, my mother often joked, 'Be famous enough to be on TV. That way I can watch you on TV.'

His wife also watched his match. Ponce's wife, who is pregnant, is expecting a baby this October. Ponce said, "I will be a father soon. My daughter will be born, which is a great motivation for me. I feel a great sense of responsibility. I feel like my baby is driving me all the luck this year."

When asked if she will have a baby in October in Korea, she laughed, saying, "If I go to the playoffs, I think I will have a baby in Korea. I could be a playoff baby."

Will Ponce be able to give birth to a daughter in Korea? Ponce, who became a silly daughter, is playing in fall baseball, and Hanwha fans are excited just thinking about it.
