On the 8th, both the Central and Pacific Leagues announced the winners of the "Daiju Life Monthly MVP Award" for June. In Pacific League 's fielder category, Nippon-Ham outfielder Franmil Reyes (31) received the award for the third time, the first being in July of last season.
In June, he batted .400 (28 At Bat 70 hit), hit 10 Home Run, had an on-base percentage of .482, and a slugging percentage of .914, resulting in an astonishing OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 1.397, earning him the award without question. "It feels great. I feel like the work I've been doing during the offseason is finally paying off, and I think there are a few things I need to do in this league, and one of them is winning this monthly MVP award, so I'm really happy to see it reflected in my performance," he said happily.
He has made changes to his batting form and updated it. His body tends to lean towards pitcher, and in order to correct the instability of his gaze, he changed his stance in June to one where he slightly opens his left foot. "By standing with my feet slightly open, I can store power in my back leg and my upper body doesn't waver as much, which means my eyes don't waver either, so I can see the ball better," he said, feeling the effects. He also cited Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers as an example, saying, "I think baseball players should never be satisfied. Even Shohei Ohtani, the best player in the majors, learns new things every day and changes things up," showing that this top foreign player, who is not afraid of change, is evolving day by day.
