Samsung Lions' Lewin Diaz continued his RBI history.

Diaz started as the fourth batter and first baseman in a game against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 4th.

Diaz played a milestone in the KBO League batting history this season. He played in 143 games until the 3rd, and had a batting average of 313, 50 home runs, 156 RBIs, 92 runs, and an OPS (long hitting rate + on base rate) of 1.022.

Diaz's 50 home runs were the most by foreigners, exceeding the 48 home runs set by Yamaico Navarro, who played for Samsung in 2015. In addition, Lee Seung-yeop, Shim Jung-soo, and Park Byung-ho joined the fourth 50-home run club in history.

The nutritional value was also high. In 2015, Park Byung-ho recorded 146 RBIs, and he also set a new KBO league RBI record.

In the final game of the season, Diaz's 'RBI Mukbang' continued. In the top of the first inning with a 1-0 lead, he hit Yang Hyun-jong's slider on the first and third bases to hit a double that separates left-center. Diaz added two RBIs as both runners homered. 158 RBIs for the season. Since then, Kim Young-woong's two-run home run continued and he even scored.

Early on in fourth place, Samsung scored five points in the top of the first inning and succeeded in gaining the upper hand in the beginning.
