Cody Ponce (32, Toronto Blue Jays), who played as the best starting pitcher in the KBO league for the Hanwha Eagles in the 2025 season, unveiled the colorful "Star Wars" tattoo completed during the offseason.

Ponce recently had a "tattoo tour" to introduce a new tattoo covering her entire right leg in a vlog video released on his wife Emma Ponce's YouTube channel. Ponce began introducing tattoos, saying, "It's the most memorable thing I've done during this offseason."

On Ponce's legs, known as the "Star Wars fan," the world view of "Star Wars" was intact. Starting with Imperial Ship and Darth Vader at the lower end of the bridge, the view of the "Mustafa" planet, where the fateful duel between Obi-Wan Kenovie and Anakin Skywalker took place, was elaborately carved around the knee.

This tattoo is meaningful in that the family participated together beyond just a hobby. "I sat down with my wife and drew myself and conceived the design," Ponce said. "I thought about which character and where to place it, putting my head together with my wife." Ponce's wife Emma also expressed satisfaction, saying, "I don't prefer color tattoos, but I really like the results because they have a clear vision and a great design."

Ponce's love of tattoos is already famous. Ponce is known to gain energy by engraving his values or favorite worldviews in his body every offseason. It is said that there is also a lion tattoo near the heart, including the right hand. Ponce, who is currently preparing for the new season by moving to Florida, where the Toronto Blue Jays spring camp is taking place, said, "There are still parts to be completed, such as the calf and the back of the thigh," signaling that tattoo work will continue in the next offseason.

Ponce was simply the best player in the KBO league in the 2025 season. He recorded a phenomenal record of 17-1 with a 1.89 ERA in 29 regular league games. Won against all the teams except the LG Twins. In particular, he achieved a formidable record of 17 consecutive wins since the opening. He ranked first in the multiple wins, ERA, winning percentage, and strikeout categories, and even became the main character of the KBO league's Cy Young Award, "Choi Dong-won Award." Thanks to this performance, Ponce signed a three-year contract with Toronto worth a total of $30 million (about 44.3 billion won) ahead of the 2026 season. Now I'm about to have my first season in Toronto.

Finally, Ponce also shared her daily life with her precious daughter "Rain" obtained in Korea through a video, showing her "daughter's stupid" temperament without regret. Ponce even expressed his determination ahead of the new season, saying, "Everything in life has changed since my daughter was born, and we are going in a better direction."
