Lotte Giants foreign hitter Reyes is ranked first in the number of hits this season as well.

Lotte Giants foreign hitter Reyes has 65 hits, five homers and 40 RBIs in 50 games this season. He is running first in the hit category.

Reyes, who wore Lotte's uniform last year, played in all 144 games in the 2024 season with a batting average of 352, 15 homers and 111 RBIs. In particular, Reyes recorded 202 hits in the hit category, breaking the record for most hits (Seo Geon-chang, 201 hits) in a season. Reyes won the Golden Glove after the season and became the best foreign hitter last year.




Born in 1994, Victor Reyes from Venezuela is tall, 196 centimeters tall, and a giant hitter who fits the Lotte Giants' giant team. Although there are not many home runs, they are producing hits as soon as they are needed. He is an all-round switch hitter who makes chances rather than home runs with a simple swing.

Reyes has recently been playing in a headband with the Korean flag on it. Last year, he wore a hairband with the Venezuelan flag on it, but recently he has been wearing a hairband with a clear Korean flag pattern.

Reyes's most hit king commemorative uniform made this year also had a patch with Venezuela and the Korean national flag.

Reyes, who plays in Korea for two seasons in his second year in the KBO League, is showing his love for Korea. There is no jinx in the second year. This season, he is also racing to the top of the list for the most hits.

His slugging has also been on the rise since May. There was only one home run in April, but it increased to four in May. Reyes' three-run home run played a big role when Lotte won the game from behind on May 17.

Reyes, the giant army, is practicing Korean love in person. He is the only batter who runs with a Taegeukgi hairband.
