KT Wiz's Choi Won-jun and Lotte Giants' Victor Reyes each reached 200 hits in the 2026 KBO season on Oct 6, the first time two players have reached the mark in a single season, according to Newsis and Chosun Ilbo. Choi's 200th hit was a third-inning double off Kiwoom Heroes rookie Park Jun-hyun at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, Dong-A Ilbo and Newsis reported. Reyes reached the mark in Lotte's game against the Doosan Bears at Sajik Stadium in Busan, Chosun Ilbo reported. Both players ended the day with 201 hits, tied for the league lead. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]
Dong-A Ilbo reported that Choi's 200-hit season is the third in KBO history, after Seo Geon-chang in 2014 and Reyes in 2024, and the first by a Korean player in 12 years. Choi debuted in 2016 and this is his 11th season, with a previous career high of 174 hits in 2021 with the KIA Tigers, the newspaper said. He batted first and played right field against Kiwoom. [ 5 ]
Chosun Ilbo reported that Reyes's 200-hit season is the fourth in KBO history and his second personally, making him the first player to record two such seasons. After Choi moved to 201 hits, Reyes matched him with a game-tying solo home run, leaving both on 201, the outlet reported. The two Chosun Ilbo reports differ on the inning of Reyes's 200th hit: one says he led off the fourth inning with a single to center off Doosan starter Gwak Bin, the other describes a third-inning single to center. [ 1 , 3 ]
Newsis and Dong-A Ilbo reported that KT beat the Kiwoom Heroes 10-1 for its seventh straight win, a record of 87 wins, 5 draws and 49 losses, after clinching first place with a win on Oct 5. Kiwoom, bottom of the league, took its 90th loss, with a record of 49 wins, 4 draws and 90 losses. KT starter Davis Daniel pitched five innings, allowing four hits and one run with eight strikeouts, taking his fifth win against two losses; Kiwoom's Park Jun-hyun gave up seven hits and four runs over three and one-third innings and took his tenth loss. [ 6 , 7 ]
Choi recorded two hits in the game and has had multi-hit games in all five games he has played in October, Newsis and Dong-A Ilbo reported. The batting-title race between the two players continues with both on 201 hits; the documents do not say how it will end. [ 6 , 7 ]
The Newsis document whose headline covers the milestone carried article text about the Nobel Prize in Physics rather than the baseball story, so only its summary could be used. [ 2 ]
Por qué importa
The two milestones leave the batting-title race unresolved going into the final games of the KBO regular season, with both players level on 201 hits. KT's 10-1 win also extended the streak of the team that has already secured first place. The event is a domestic baseball record, with little consequence outside South Korea.
