## Resource

Hao-Yu Lee is heating up at second base, delivering a breakout performance with three hits, two doubles, a triple, and three RBIs — all while accumulating nearly 300 plate appearances this season. His offensive metrics, including above-average exit velocity and hard-hit rate, suggest he’s hitting harder than his size implies. Since August 1, his stats have climbed, and bat-tracking data reveals faster swings without longer motions — meaning more power, more efficiently. Defense remains a concern, as Statcast shows he’s below average in Outs Above Average, but if his bat keeps improving, the Tigers may overlook that. With a potential opening at second base next year, Lee has firmly put himself in the conversation — young, already proven at the major league level, and showing signs of becoming a consistent everyday threat.
