Cody Ponce (32, Toronto Blue Jays), a "legend of reverse export" who played for the Hanwha Eagles, has successfully completed knee surgery and has officially begun his rehabilitation. In this situation, his wife, Emma Ponce, explained the series of events she experienced since her husband's injury and openly shared her true feelings.

On the 15th (Korean time), Emma Ponce calmly revealed the tense situation following her husband Cody Ponce's injury through a video posted on her YouTube channel.

Emma began by saying, "It was an overwhelmingly overwhelming time, both mentally and emotionally." Just as they had settled into their new home in Toronto, her husband's serious knee injury completely changed their family's life.

They had to sell the house they had just signed a contract for without even having time to pack, refund furniture, and rush to California for surgery. Emma said, "It feels like I've been moving crazily across Korea, Tennessee, Florida, Toronto, and California over the past six months." She also confessed, "Honestly, last week was so difficult that I completely broke down and cried every day." To make matters worse, their 5-month-old daughter, Laney, caught her first cold during this period.

Emma, who was active as a social media influencer and YouTube creator, also openly discussed the "identity shift" she experienced as a woman. She stated, "I love my life so much, and supporting my husband's baseball career was something I chose myself," but added, "Recently, I have been going through a period where my identity has been completely turned upside down."

She continued, "Even when I sit down to try to come up with creative ideas, my brain doesn't work (because I'm too busy). All my energy is being consumed only by my baby, my husband, and packing moving boxes." She also expressed, "I sometimes feel like I've lost an important part of myself and am wandering around," evoking sympathy.

However, Emma is reportedly regaining her composure with her unique positive energy. Ponce, who recently completed surgery under the guidance of Dr. ElRa Teu-ra-che (Dr.), a leading authority in sports ligament fields, is currently performing high-intensity home rehabilitation routines three times a day. Even in her grueling daily routine of carrying heavy medical equipment and filling water and ice buckets, Emma has not lost her smile.

She showed a mature attitude by saying, "I know this is just one passing phase, and I have decided to fully embrace this life of dedication." She also shared on social media, "The 12 days we spent in Toronto were short but lovely. Although we were deeply shocked, the human spirit is amazing, and we will definitely return," revealing her strong will. It is reported that he has begun rehabilitation with the goal of returning to spring training ahead of the 2027 season.

Ponce's baseball career, which saw him evolve into a complete pitcher through the Korean KBO League and Japan's NPB, has been temporarily paused. The Ponce family plans to complete initial rehabilitation in California by the end of this month, then move to Dunedin, Florida, where the Toronto Blue Jays' spring training facilities are located, to continue their long journey back. As the Ponce couple supports each other through the pain of injury and prepares for another reversal in 2027, fans are pouring out warm encouragement.
