When the Nippon-Ham Fighters announced the recruitment of Franmil Reyes (29) last winter, his enormous physique beyond his major league career became a hot topic. Reyes, an outfielder from the Dominican Republic, is the heaviest player in the Japanese professional baseball league this season.
Reyes, who did not stand out until the middle of the season, is the hottest foreign hitter these days. He came back and forth with a batting average of around 20% before recovering at the start of the summer last July. It shows the appearance of a major league career '108 home run hitter' and strengthens the team that is in fierce competition for rankings. Coach Tsuyoshi Shinjo has jumped to the No. 4 hitter he trusts the most.
August 31 away against the Seibu Lions. He played as a designated hitter, grounded out to the pitcher in the first inning, and struck out swinging in the fourth inning. He hit the first pitch curve thrown by Seibu right-hander Tatsuya Imai after one out in the seventh inning to make it a left-handed hit.
22 consecutive hits. For the first time in 18 years, Nippon Ham has rewritten the record of consecutive hits by foreign batters. It was a hit that led to the first run at 0-0.
On a hot August, Reyes was powerful. He played in 23 games and had a batting average of .430-31 hits, eight homers, and 23 RBIs. During this period, he recorded a batting average of 444-OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 1.208.
An away game against the Softbank Hawks took place at Fukuoka Dome on the 3rd. No. 4 Reyes solved it in the first inning with no outs and runners on the second and third bases with a 1-0 lead. Softbank left-hander Livan Moinello hit a breaking ball that dropped to the low course of his body and hit it with a two-run timely hit.
He said "The opponent was such a strong and good pitcher that I waited for the ball I had to hit. I hit him while waiting, unshakable."
a hit in 24 consecutive games. He set the record for the most consecutive hits by the Nippon Ham club. He has the most consecutive hits if he hits one more time. Reyes tries to put in the best performance of every game without being conscious of the record. It would be nice to have a hit, but even if you don't hit well, the team can win."
The record for the most consecutive hits in Japanese professional baseball is 33 games, the Pacific League has 32 games, and the number of foreign hitters is 30.

Reyes, who has performed brilliantly over the past month, has raised his batting average for the season to 283. As of the 3rd, he is tied for fourth in the Pacific League with 17 home runs. It ranks third among foreign hitters in both leagues after Taylor Austin (22, Yokohama) and Gregory Polanco (19 Chiba Lotte). Reyes has had 10 hits and six RBIs in the last six games, including three homers.
Reyes had two hits, including a home run, in the opening game against Chiba Lotte. Expectations were high as the center hitter, but he fell into a severe batting slump. It dropped to the second tier last May. After many twists and turns, it is alive and paying for its name.
Reyes is a home run hitter who hit 30 home runs twice a season in the Major League. He made his major league debut with the San Diego Padres in 2018. He played in 87 games that year and recorded a batting average of 280-73 hits, 16 home runs, and 31 RBIs. He made his best season with 37 home runs-81 RBIs in 2019 and 30 home runs-85 RBIs in 2021.
