◆2025 Persol Climax Series first baseman First Stage Game 2 Nippon-Ham 5-4 Orix (12th, Escon F)
In the second game of the first stage of the 2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific League, Nippon-Ham overcame a three-run deficit to win consecutive games against Orix, securing their second consecutive victory and advancing to the final stage.

Reyes has a place in Japan that he treasures. On September 4th, before a game against the Lotte Marines at Zozo Stadium, he was at the second-division Kamagaya Stadium. It was 11 a.m., seven hours before the start of the night game, and he made the effort to visit Kamagaya and embraced second-division manager Inaba and the second-division coaches.
"Last year, when I was demoted, the coaches and staff supported me so much. I wanted to express my gratitude to them once again."
During his first season last year, he was demoted to the second team for a month from mid-May. He showed his gratitude to the staff who supported him during that time through his actions. The difficult time he experienced due to his slump was also a time when he experienced kindness and found love for the team even more. "We felt the love that each other had for each other, and it made me very happy." His respect and humble attitude have led to his great success in a foreign country.
