Samsung Lions’ foreign hitter Lewin Diaz (30) was honored as the club’s September monthly MVP.

Samsung Lions held the ‘Olgouen Hospital Sponsored September Monthly MVP’ award ceremony before their home game against Doosan Bears at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 5th. On this day, Lim Gyeong-hwan (Director) of Olgouen Hospital attended in person to present the award, and Diaz was given a gift certificate as a prize.

Diaz appeared in 20 games over the past month of September, recording a .324 batting average (23 hits in 71 at-bats), 4 home runs, and 19 RBIs, perfectly leading Samsung’s middle of the order. He monopolized both the most home runs and most RBIs among the team’s batters in September, serving as a reliable go-to player in the race for standings.

In particular, in the game against Daegu Kiwoom Heroes on September 11, he swung a fierce bat with three hits in three at-bats and five RBIs, including multiple home runs, single-handedly driving the team to a 6-4 victory. Bolstered by Diaz’s firepower, Samsung posted an impressive record of 12 wins and 8 losses (a .600 winning percentage) in their 20 games in September.

This season, Diaz has appeared in 139 games, recording a .304 batting average, 26 home runs, and 124 RBIs, continuing top-tier league performance as Samsung’s key power hitter.
