No. 1 hit, No. 1 hit, 100 RBIs, and 200 hits
Marking his 43rd anniversary this year, Lotte's foreign hitter Victor Reyes (30) started as the fourth batter and right fielder in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League game against KT at Sajik Stadium in Busan on Saturday, and garnered three hits and one run from three times at bat.
Reyes, who had his first at-bat with two outs and a runner on the first base in the bottom of the first inning, got off to a good start as he had a hit to the right. Reyes, who was the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fourth inning and had another hit to the right, also appeared as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning, completing the three-hit game by hitting an infield single to the shortstop. Reyes, who boasted "white-footed" by posting three hits from three times at bat, was replaced by pinch runner Shin Yoon-hoo. As Lotte already had a big lead of 1-10, there was no reason for Reyes to insist on playing. 메이저사이트
Reyes saw his batting average rise to .355 for the season, surpassing foreign hitter Guillermo Herredia (batting average of .351) to rank No. 1 in the batting category. He also marked his 175th hit of the season to rank No. 1 in the number of hits.
In addition, Reyes is also targeting a milestone of 200 hits. In 2014, Seo Geon-chang of the Nexen Heroes (currently the Kiwoom Heroes) recorded 201 hits, which was an unprecedented record, setting a new history in the KBO League. So far, Seo has been the only batter with 200 hits. Reyes is still displaying remarkable pace to hit 203 hits, which is expected to enable him to surpass 200 hits.
Seo Geon-chang also achieved the No. 1 batting average, the highest number of hits, and the 200-hit ball in 2014. Reyes has one more thing to do, however. That is 100 RBIs. Reyes, who has 97 RBIs, is expected to soon achieve the mark of 100 RBIs. If Reyes wins titles in both the batting and the highest number of hits categories and 200 hits and 100 RBIs, he will be the first player in KBO league history to achieve all of them in one season.
It can be said that this is a possible scenario based on Reyes' performance so far. Reyes, in a nutshell, is a player who has no ups and downs. Reyes, who started off fresh from March to April with a batting average of .302 with two homers and 27 RBIs, a batting average of .398 with one homer and 21 RBIs, a batting average of .398 with one homer and a batting average of .30 with one homer and two RBIs, and a batting average of .300 with four homers and 12 RBIs in August, before exploding with a batting average of .583 with four RBIs in September. This was the driving force behind Reyes' record of .355, 175 hits, 14 homers and 97 RBIs. The more such a player is, the more likely he is to reach the milestone of 200 hits. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung also has high expectations, saying, "I think I can hit 200."
As Lotte has the most remaining games among the 10 teams and is continuing a fierce five-way race, Reyes' bat is expected to have no time to rest. The closer Reyes continues to hit hard and gets to the milestone, the greater the probability that Lotte will also head to autumn baseball. It remains to be seen whether Lotte and Reyes will be able to laugh at the end of the regular season.
