Blue Jays have New Hope in Star Wars superfan Ponce delivering for Toronto in 2026

The Toronto Blue Jays took a page out of Luke Skywalker's playbook in 2025 and brought down the Evil Empire, beating the New York Yankees for the AL East division title. With their sights set on a sequel in 2026, they are hoping that a return to North America from a Jedi-lore loving pitcher will aid those efforts in mitigating that Empire's attempt to strike back.

Cody Ponce, the MVP of the Korean Baseball Organization last year, is already winning over the fan base with his down to earth attitude and stories of perseverance.
