At the moment, the Creole has 43 RBIs, 45 runs scored, 10 doubles, a triple and .350 batting average in 55 games.
In addition, he has an active streak of five consecutive games with at least one hit to reach (77) in the year that means the second best mark in the tournament, behind Kang Baek-ho who reaps (81).
