Professional baseball player Victor Reyes of the Lotte Giants tied the record for most hits in a single season in the KBO League.

Reyes started as the number 1 designated hitter in the 2024 Shinhan Solbank KBO League game against NC Dinos held at Changwon NC Park on the 1st and produced his 201st hit of the season.

In the 5th inning, with the team ahead 2-0, with 2 outs and 2nd base, he went to bat for the 3rd time and hit NC starter Lee Jae-hak’s first pitch fastball, hitting a mid-game hit. This is the 201st hit of the season.

Reyes reported 200 hits in the game against KIA Tigers on the 28th of last month, becoming the second player in history to reach 200 hits, following Seo Geon-chang (KIA Tigers, then Nexen Heroes), who had 201 hits in 2014.

In addition, he set a new record for the most hits by a foreign player ever. The previous record was Jose Miguel Fernández’s 199 hits in 2020.

Reyes did not stop there and hit 201 hits that day, putting him on par with Seo Geon-chang, who holds the record for the most hits in a single season in the KBO League.
