李灏宇如何在底特律老虎扭转菜鸟球季
我得承认一件事。
我完全看错李灏宇了，这名 23 岁的底特律老虎队菜鸟内野手。
他在本季稍早完成大联盟初登板后，低迷了一个多月，那时我心想：“不可能。他不会在大
联盟混得下去。他看起来完全迷失、毫无头绪，而且根本跟不上大联盟的强度。”
但事实上，他确实正在经历低潮。他确实跟不上大联盟的强度，32 场比赛 83 个打数只打
出 .205 的打击率。这就是大多数大联盟菜鸟会经历的事情，至少对那些不是叫做 Kevin M
cGonigle 的凡人来说是如此。
所以，老虎队把李灏宇下放回 3A 托利多，我犯的第二个错误，就是以为故事就这样结束了
。
但并没有。
不，那才只是开始。
李灏宇究竟是怎么变得如此势不可挡的？
不到两周后，李灏宇重返大联盟，而他就像完全变成了另一个球员。
截至 8 月 25 日（周二）进入这场比赛前，他在接下来的 54 场比赛中打出 .317 打击率
，OPS 高达 .843。
翻译：这家伙现在真的打疯了。
老虎队总教练 A.J. Hinch 表示：“他击球的强度很高，而且对于哪些球该挥、哪些球不该
挥，他的判断非常好。我这么说并不是指他从来不追打坏球，毕竟每个打者都会追打。但我
认为，随着他一步一步地努力改善对好球带的掌控，他一直都能击出非常强劲的球。”
所以，让我们来深入看看这些数据。
他是怎么做到的？
首先，他上垒的次数多了很多。
第一次登上大联盟：上垒率 .241
第二次登上大联盟：.357。
而这直接反映在他三振次数的下降。
第一次登上大联盟：他一共被三振 24 次——每场平均 0.75 次——只选到 4 次保送。
第二次登上大联盟：他已经被三振 31 次——每场平均 0.57 次——并选到 10 次保送。
李灏宇一直都有能力击出强劲的球。但现在他不仅更常击中球，也更懂得挑选适合出手的球
，因此展现出了强得多的长打火力。
翻译：这其实没什么深奥的，各位。只要李灏宇确实击中球，球就很容易飞得很远。
第一次登上大联盟：2 支全垒打、3 支二垒打，OPS 为 .578。
第二次登上大联盟：5 支全垒打、9 支二垒打，OPS 为 .843。
而且他在替队友送回本垒、贡献打点方面也更加有效率，从 32 场比赛 9 分打点（换算成
162 场例行赛约 46 分打点），提升到 54 场比赛 23 分打点（换算成 162 场例行赛约 69
分打点）。
“我学会了如何让比赛慢下来，”他透过老虎队翻译 Peter Lin 表示。“我还没有达到自
己的上限。各个方面，我都还在持续进步。”
失败的正面意义
所以，到底改变了什么？
李灏宇一直都是个学习能力很快的球员。教练告诉他一些事情时，他通常几乎能立刻做出调
整。但在第一次登上老虎队时，他第一次遇到了难以做出调整的情况，而那段时间的每件事
对他来说都很艰难。
关于李灏宇，最简单、最直观的说法就是：他升上大联盟后陷入低潮，接着被下放，然后找
回了状态。
但这样的说法其实少了一些细节。
因为也许他在第一次登上大联盟的最后阶段，就已经开始扭转局面了。也许有些事情当时就
已经开始慢慢开窍。
他第一次登上大联盟的最后一场比赛，是 6 月 1 日对坦帕湾光芒队；那场他 5 打数 2 安
打，还敲出一支阳春全垒打。
也许就是从那时候开始出现转机。
Hinch 说：“失败没关系。那是最好的学习方式，而我们现在这个世界，对于需要比较长时
间适应的过程，容忍度变得比较低了。”
现在，有件重要的事情要记住：他还不是一个已经完成的球员。他还在学习，也还在成长。
这里我可以举一个例子。
李灏宇天生就是一名擅长把球打向反方向的打者。但在周六对堪萨斯市皇家队的比赛中，他
做了一件意义重大的事。
当时是三连战的第二场，李灏宇面对皇家队先发投手 Michael Wacha。他抓住一颗滑球出手
，将球拉打到左外野围墙外，而且这支全垒打飞了 446 英尺（约 136 公尺）。
那是一支非常精彩、甚至让人瞠目结舌的拉打全垒打。
而这也展现了他的成长。
“大家都知道，我很擅长把球轰向反方向，”他透过翻译表示。“一旦我把拉打能力也发展
起来，我就会成为更全面的打者，而这正是我现在正在努力的方向。”
但这件事还可以从另一个角度来看：那支全垒打展现了他还有多少潜力。
Hinch 说：“他的拉打长打能力是存在的，只是他必须稍微花点功夫才能展现出来。……所
以，他正在学习很多东西，也正在学习什么时候该出手。他是一名很有威胁性的打者。”
当他能够将球拉打时，他就会成为更具威胁性的打者，因为这能让他有效应对那些想要往内
角塞球、让他难以出棒的投手。
Hinch 说：“随着他在大联盟打得越来越久，也发现投手越来越常把球往内角塞，这时候的
调整方式就是把球往拉打方向打。他正在展现自己具备从左外野线到右外野线的长打能力，
这是很好的讯号，也代表他正在持续成长。”
所以，他持续在场下默默努力，进行打击练习，也和打击教练一起训练。
而且每场比赛前，他都会一球接着一球地练习滚地球，持续磨练自己的守备技巧。
Hinch 说：“他是一名让人放心的守备者。”
他正在一步一步地变得更好。这也再次提醒我们，对这些年轻球员妄下定论是很不明智的。
Hinch 说：“如果你没办法一开始就展现出完美的表现，大家就会开始怀疑到底出了什么问
题。实际上，那只是在适应一个你过去从未到过的层级。李灏宇是个容易被低估的年轻球员
。我们会谈到 Kevin（McGonigle），也会谈到 Max（Clark）——大家都会说，‘喔，他们
真的非常年轻。’”
但别忘了，李灏宇才 23 岁。
Hinch 说：“对年轻球员多一点耐心，让他们自己去适应这个独特的层级。我认为，信心来
自经验，以及一次次做出好的表现。我们希望这些年轻球员不要每次表现不好，就觉得自己
好像又要被下放了。我们不希望他们带着恐惧打球。”
幸好，这从来不是李灏宇的问题。
Hinch 说：“他从来没有真的带着恐惧打球，但第一次上来的时候，他很自然地会怀疑自己
是否属于这里。第二次回到大联盟后，我们看到他更能做自己了一点，而我只是认为，太早
对球员下定论是一种罪过。只不过，这种罪不像一般的犯罪一样会受到惩罚。”
所以，算我有罪。
很明显，他属于这里。很明显，他拥有相当出色的天赋，而他值得拥有时间，让这份天赋慢
慢成长。

How Hao Yu Lee turned around rookie season for Detroit Tigers
I gotta admit something.
I was completely wrong about Hao-Yu Lee, the Detroit Tigers’ 23-year-old rookie
infielder.
After he made his MLB debut earlier this season and scuffled for more than a mon
th, I thought: No way. He is not gonna make it in the majors. He looks lost and
confused and overmatched.
But the truth is, he was struggling. He was overmatched, hitting .205 in 83 at-b
ats over 32 games. That’s what happens to most rookies in the big leagues, at l
east the mere mortals not named Kevin McGonigle.
Detroit Tigers second baseman Hao-Yu Lee (50) bats against the Tampa Bay Rays du
ring the first inning at Comerica Park in Detroit on Monday, August 24, 2026.
So, the Tigers sent Lee back to Triple-A Toledo, and my second mistake was think
ing the story ended right there.
Because it didn’t end there.
No, that was just the beginning.
Less than two weeks later, Lee returned to the big leagues and it’s like he’s
a different player.
In his next 54 games entering Tuesday, Aug. 25, he hit .317 with an .843 OPS.
Translation: This dude is absolutely raking.
“He hits the ball hard and he makes really good decisions on what to swing at,
” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “When I say that, it doesn't mean he never c
hases, like every hitter chases. But I think as he has meticulously worked on zo
ne control, then he's always hit the ball really hard.”
So, let’s dig into those numbers.
How is he doing it?
First of all, he’s getting on base way more.
First stint: a .241 on-base percentage
Second stint: .357.
But that’s a direct reflection of not striking out as much.
First stint: He struck out a whopping 24 times – 0.75 strikeouts per game – wi
th just four walks.
Second stint: He has struck out 31 times – 0.57 per game – with 10 walks.
Lee has always been able to hit the ball hard. But now that he’s hitting the ba
ll more and picking better pitches to attack, he’s showing far more power.
Translation: This isn’t rocket science, folks. When Lee makes contact, the ball
has a tendency to fly.
First stint: two homers, three doubles, for a .578 OPS.
Second stint: five homers, nine doubles with a .843 OPS.
And he’s been more productive in driving in his teammates, going from nine RBIs
in 32 games (a 46 RBI pace over 162 games) to 23 in 54 games (a 69 RBI pace ove
r 162 games).
“I've learned how to slow down the game,” he said through Peter Lin, the Tiger
s translator. “I haven't reached my ceiling yet. Every aspect, I'm still develo
ping.”
The good side of failure
So, what changed?
Lee has always been a quick learner. When a coach tells him something, he usuall
y makes an adjustment almost immediately. But in his first stint with the Tigers
, he struggled to do so, for the first time, and everything came hard.
The quick, easy narrative on Lee is that he came up and he struggled. Then, he w
ent down and found it. But that’s missing some nuance. Because maybe he'd alrea
dy started to turn it around at the end of that first stint. Maybe things were a
lready starting to click. His final game of the first stint came on June 1 at Ta
mpa Bay; he went 2-for-5 with a solo homer.
Maybe that's when it started to flip.
“Failure is OK,” Hinch said. “It's the best way to learn, and we just have in
the world today less tolerance for a slower ramp.”
Now, here is something that is important to remember: He’s not a finished produ
ct. He’s still learning. Still growing. And I’ll give you an example.
Lee is a natural opposite-field hitter. But he did something significant on Satu
rday against the Kansas City Royals. Lee was facing Michael Wacha in the second
game of a three-game series. He jumped on a slider, yanking it way over the left
-field fence, a homer that traveled 446 feet. It was a magnificent, if not jaw-d
ropping, pull-side homer.
And it showed his growth.
“Everyone knows I'm pretty good at opposite-field homers,” he said through tra
nslation. “Once I develop my pull-side, I'm gonna be much more advanced hitter,
and that's what I'm working on.”
But here’s another way to look at it: That homer showed how much more potential
he has.
“That pull-side power is in there,” Hinch said. “He's had to work to get to t
hat a little bit. … So, he's learning a lot, and he's learning when to take his
shots. He's a dangerous hitter.”
He's a far more dangerous hitter when he can go pull-side because it’s an answe
r to pitchers who want to jam him inside.
“As he's gotten into the big leagues and he sees himself getting crowded a litt
le bit more, the adjustment is to take his shots to the pull side,” Hinch said.
“He's showing that he has line-to-line power, which is a good sign and a good
development.”
So, he continues to work behind the scenes, taking batting practice and working
with the hitting coaches.
And before every game, he takes ground ball after ground ball, working on his te
chniques.
“He’s a dependable defender,” Hinch said.
Slowly, but surely, he’s getting better. And it’s a strong reminder that it’s
foolish to make snap judgements on these young players.
“If you don't show something perfect right away, everybody wonders what's wrong
,” Hinch said. “In reality, it's just the adjustment to a level that you've ne
ver been before. Lee is a sneaky young guy. We talk about Kevin [McGonigle] and
we talk about Max [Clark] – oh, they're super young.”
But remember, Lee is just 23 years old.
“Just have patience with young players and allow them to navigate this unique l
evel,” Hinch said. “I think belief comes from experience and doing some positi
ve things. We try to get these young guys to not feel like they're getting optio
ned every time they do something poorly. We don't want them to play with fear.”
Thankfully, that’s never been a problem for Lee.
“He's never really played with fear, but he naturally questioned whether he bel
onged the first time,” Hinch said. “The second time, we've seen him be himself
a little bit more, and I just think judging players too early is a crime. It’s
just not punishable like normal crimes.”
So call me guilty.
It’s clear he belongs. It's clear he has some serious talent and he deserves ti
me to let it grow.
