The winner with the most hits is Lotte Reyes... 211 hits for the season with 4 hits on the final day

The race for the most hits, which heated up until the end of this year's professional baseball regular season, ended with the victory of Victor Reyes (Lotte Giants).

Reyes hit a hard hit with 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 home run, and 2 RBIs in the game against the Doosan Bears held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 12th.

Before today's game, he was leading the league in this category with 207 hits this season, but he beat Wonjun Choi (KT Wiz) by 3 and took the title with the most hits for 3 years in a row.

Reyes, who wore a Lotte uniform in 2024, broke the record of most hits (201) in a single season in the previous KBO League set by Seo Geon-chang (Kiwoom Heroes) in 2014 with 202 hits that year.

Reyes, who maintained his hitting title with 187 hits last year, turned his bat even more vigorously when a competitor appeared this season.

He competed with Choi Won-jun for the most hits until the end of the season, and added 4 hits on the last day of the regular season, reaching an unprecedented 210 hits in the KBO League.

He, who started as the No. 1 designated hitter, was retired by a fly ball to left field in his first at-bat in the first inning, and Choi Won-jun, who also batted first and went to right field, hit a hit in his first at-bat, narrowing the season's hit total between the two to 207-206.

However, Reyes started producing hits with a timely hit to left-center in the second inning, and completed his multiple hits early (more than two hits in one game) with a hit to center field in the fourth inning.

In the 6th inning, he actually fired a self-congratulatory shot that solidified his title for most hits.

Reyes hit his 18th one-run home run of the season, crossing the left fence against Doosan Choi Seung-yong, reaching the 210-hit mark.

He didn't stop there, and completed a 4-hit game with a clean mid-game hit against Kim Young-hyun in the 8th inning.

Just as Ted Williams, the 'last .400 hitter' in American professional baseball's Major League Baseball (MLB), hit 6 hits in 8 at-bats in the final doubleheader of the regular season in 1941 and achieved a .406 batting average (0.406) without rounding, Reyes celebrated his record with 4 hits on the last day.

The Lotte bench replaced Reyes with Park Chan-hyung as a pinch runner in the 8th inning, considering that it would be difficult to return to the batting order.

Reyes first took off his helmet and greeted the cheering away crowd, and when he bowed his head to the Doosan home crowd, applause erupted.

Reyes also added a meaningful record of playing in all games (144) for three consecutive seasons.

For three years, he showed himself as a 'hitting machine' with a total of 600 hits and an annual average of 200 hits.

On this day, Wonjun Choi also followed Reyes until the end with 3 hits in 6 at-bats, but Reyes' batting sensation was hotter.
