Lotte Giants' "hit machine" Victor Reyes will take the field as the leadoff hitter in the regular season finale as well, aiming to defend his most hits title and set new records.

Ahead of the season finale against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul Songpa-gu on the 12th, Lotte announced its starting lineup: Reyes (designated hitter), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Han Dong-hee (third baseman), Jeon Min-jae (shortstop), Son Seong-bin (catcher), Jeon Jun-woo (left fielder), Jang Doo-seong (right fielder), and Hwang Seong-bin (center fielder).

The mound will be handled by domestic ace Park Se-woong. Lotte placed Reyes in the leadoff spot again, just as it did the previous day, proactively setting the stage for him to get as many at-bats as possible.

Reyes has already recorded 207 hits this season, achieving a new KBO League single-season record for most hits. Now, every time he steps into the batter's box and adds another hit, a new chapter in KBO League history is written.

However, the race for individual titles remains uncertain. Choi Won-jun of the KT Wiz, in second place with 205 hits, is closing in on him by just two hits. Choi Won-jun will also take the field in the regular season finale against the Samsung Lions in Daegu on the same day, aiming for a late-game comeback.

In this nail-biting close race of just two hits, attention is focused on whether Reyes, who is starting as leadoff hitter for consecutive games, can continue his hitting streak and secure the most hits crown on his own merit.
