‘2 Hits Against Ryu Hyun-jin in MLB’ Lotte Reyes

‘2 Hits Against Ryu Hyun-jin in MLB’ Lotte Reyes “Looking Forward to a Match with Ryu Hyun-jin”

“I had fun at spring camp… I decided to challenge the KBO with Machado’s advice.”

Victor Reyes (29), the new foreign hitter for the professional baseball Lotte Giants, is expected to be a player who will bring new strength to the ‘Giant Corps’, which has suffered from long-hit poverty.

Reyes, who quietly attended Lotte Spring Camp with a serious personality, returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport on the 5th.

Reyes is a former big leaguer who debuted in the big league with the Detroit Tigers of the Major League Baseball (MLB) in 2018 and has a batting average of 0.264, 16 home runs, and 107 RBIs in 394 games over five seasons until 2022.

He is not the type of hitter who blasts home runs, with 46 home runs in 796 games in 10 seasons in the minor leagues. 카지노사이트

Instead, he is a player with an excellent ability to hit the center of the bat, recording a career batting average of 0.298 in the minor league.

Lotte coach Kim Tae-hyung said, “I have good contact ability and see the ball well.

Looking at my swing, I’m not the type to hit long balls, but I still have power, so if I hit the center of the bat, I can hit 20 home runs.

Home runs are good, but I need to hit a home run to hit a home run.”

He also commented, “You don’t want the balance to be lost, so just play like you are now.”

In an interview after returning to Korea, Reyes said, “I felt really good and had fun training throughout spring training.

“I had a great time because everyone did really well,” he said, thanking the team and his colleagues.

Victor Reyes, who is close to Dixon Machado (Houston Astros), who played for Lotte in 2020 and 2021, said, “It will be a very good experience if I go to Korea.

He added, “I came to Lotte because he recommended that I definitely go and try it.”

There is no professional team that is not thirsty for victory, but Lotte, which has not won the Korean Series since 1992, is an even hungrier team.

Reyes said, “I’ve heard a lot that Lotte fans are passionate.

Not only Lotte but all baseball fans are thirsty for victory.”

He continued, “I don’t have any personal goals set in numbers.

My goal is to win as many games and win the postseason.

Personally, I want to spend the season in good health.”

Reyes is a ‘Korean Monster Experiencer’ who played against Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles) in the big league.

Currently, the batters who have faced Ryu Hyun-jin at Lotte are captain Jun-woo Jeon, and some senior players such as Jeong Hoon and Kim Min-seong.

Reyes went 2-for-3 in a visiting game against the Toronto Blue Jays on August 22, 2021, while playing for Detroit, and got two hits from Hyun-jin Ryu, who was the starting pitcher at the time.

On that day, Ryu Hyun-jin became the winning pitcher by completely blocking the opponent’s batting line with 5 strikeouts, 1 walk, 5 hits, and no runs in 7 innings.

Recalling that time, Reyes said, “My heart races at the fact that we can meet again in Korea.”

The match between Reyes and Ryu Hyun-jin is expected to take place soon.

Ryu Hyun-jin is scheduled to take the mound as a starter against Lotte in the KBO exhibition game to be held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 17th.
