Breaking records might just be a habit of former Milwaukee Brewers second-round pick Cody Ponce. The 31-year-old right-hander, who was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2019 Jordan Lyles deal, has been pitching overseas since 2022, but is coming off a dominating year in the Korean Baseball Organization where he set a single-season record for strikeouts (252 strikeouts over 180.2 innings pitched) and also won the Triple Crown with 17 wins and a 1.89 ERA.
Now, after reportedly agreeing to a three-year, $30 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, Ponce already has another record to his name before even stepping back onto a major league mound.
