Since the opening, it has been the center of the Lotte Giants' batting lineup. Thanks to foreigners' active role in 'RBI Mukbang', the Lotte Giants laid the foundation for a mid-range leap forward.

Reyes led his team to a 6-4 victory with three hits and three RBIs in Game 1 of the Weekday Series against the Hanwha Eagles at Sajik Stadium on the 28th.

It is not the type of person who plays home runs like other foreign hitters, so it is a more brilliant performance award. Even this season, when there are many foreigners with a batting average of 349 for the season, Dawson (368) and Eredia (361) show off one of the most sophistication.




He hit just seven homers this season. However, he swept a whopping 67 RBIs, ranking third overall in RBIs. Reyes becomes sharper when he is in a scoring position. The batting average of the scoring position rises to 413 and the OPS to 1.098.

In defense, he is playing left field to relieve Reyes' burden, but he is also the owner of a strong dog who sometimes puts an intense laser beam throw into the groove.

In June, the pace is rising again. The monthly batting average is close to .40 (3.98 percent). OPS (On-base plus slugging) also soared to 0.969. If Reyes gets a chance, there's no room.

The same is true on this day. He led the chase by hitting a timely hit with two outs and third base in the bottom of the third inning, trailing 1-3, and sealed the game with a two-run double that cut the left-center with two outs and runners on first and second bases in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 4-3 lead.

On this day, Hanwha starter Jaime Barria showed off his outstanding pitching by striking out eight, but he was replaced by 108 pitches in four ⅔ innings without completing the fifth inning.

Turns out there was an old connection between Reyes and Barria. Reyes faced Los Angeles Angels Barria twice when he was a Detroit Tigers player in 2022. The result is one hit and one RBI in two at-bats.




It must be a pretty impressive memory for Reyes himself. Understanding, Reyes' timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning, when the game was 3-3 on August 21, became the winning hit of the day. Reyes also "I remember. He was a very good pitcher, and I was looking forward to pitching today. As expected, the ball was good"I looked back.

After the game, Reyes smiled brightly, saying, `I'm very happy to win today.' As for the reason why he didn't miss the chance, he smiled, `When the RBI chance comes, I think my concentration goes up.'

As for the victory on this day, it smells like autumn baseball. Many fans cheered for me passionately, which is a great help. "There's nothing particularly hard about it. Lotte said, `We will focus on every game and try to make sure our team is on a higher level in the rest of the first half.'
