This season, the best foreign pitchers in professional baseball will face off.
At 2 p.m. on the 4th, a day before Children's Day, a match between the Hanwha Eagles and the KIA Tigers of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League will be held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju, while Hanwha announced Cody Ponce and KIA announced James Nail as starting pitchers.카지노
Earlier, KIA tried to start Nail on the 3rd, but it was canceled due to rain, so she was put on the mound on the 4th, a day later.
Hanwha, on the other hand, plans to put Moon Dong-ju as its starting pitcher on Thursday. As the starting pitcher was canceled due to rain, the team changed its starting pitcher to Ponce, not Moon.
The much-anticipated showdown between "Moon Kim Dae-jeon" (Moon Dong-ju and Kim Do-young) failed, but the match between the strongest pitchers in the league appeases fans. It is Ponce and Nail who will have their second showdown as starting pitchers this season.
Ponce and Nail are considered the most powerful starting pitchers this season. Notably, Ponce, who started his career in the KBO this year, has 61 strikeouts during 46 innings, ranking first in the strikeout category.
In addition, Ponce, whose strength is fast fastball, ranks fifth with a 1.96 ERA. In all of the last three games, he has been the most powerful pitcher in the league, silencing the opponent's batters with seven scoreless innings and achieving five wins of the season.
Ponce has good memories of winning his first victory of the season against KIA on March 28 by pitching well with eight strikeouts and two runs in seven innings.
Nail, who will face off each other, is a foreign pitcher who entered Korea last year and is in his second year in the KBO league. Nail, who received positive reviews last season, pitched 42 ⅔ innings in seven games this year, leading the league with an ERA of 1.05.
Nail was responsible for six innings against Hanwha and did well with five strikeouts but went down the mound without winning or losing.
