[Bannon] Cody Ponce, with a Darth Vader helmet behind him, was introduced to the Toronto media tonight. Talked a lot about why he chose the #BlueJays and recent improvements, but also lots of Star Wars…. Said he watches Star Wars before every start (might be his real key to success)

  3. As if I need any more reasons to like the guy!

    I wonder what his favorite film is? Mines Revenge of the Sith!

  10. So, does he watch just the original, or is he watching a different movie for each start, or does he stick to just the original trilogy, does he do it in some sort of order?

    Saying you watch Star Wars before every start is not specific enough.

  13. The Blue Jays will continue to rise in the East, he will bring balance to the force, we are the evil empire now

  17. A beekeeper and a Star wars fan. I just need Tyler Rogers to have a huge model train setup in his basement and the geek trinity is complete.

  20. The podcast that Jared Carrabis hosts called ‘Baseball is Dead’ has an extremely interesting interview with Cody Ponce that I watched a few days ago. It was a fascinating listen. He talks about myriad topics including his experience in Asia, the differences he found between pitching in Japan and South Korea, and signing with the Blue Jays among them. It was about an hour long talk, so touched on several areas. Would definitely recommend to any diehard Blue Jays follower. Can’t wait to cheer for this guy in 2026!

  25. Schneider and Clement play Catan, Cease plays Runescape, and Ponce likes Star Wars. We are officially nerd FC
