PROSPECT: Hao-Yu Lee, 2B, Detroit Tigers
CURRENT LEVEL: Double-A
2024 STATS: 28 G, .273/.357/.436, Three HR, 18 RBI, 18 R, Four SB, 11.1% BB%, 20.6% K%, .329 BABIP, .366 wOBA, 128 wRC+
ANALYSIS: Lee is a former international signing from Taiwan who was acquired from the Phillies at last summer's trade deadline. He was swapped for Michael Lorenzen in a one-for-one trade, and so far, it looks like Detroit won that swap. Lee is a very polished hitter who gets good speed and strength behind his swings, works counts effectively, and hits to all parts of the field.
Hao-Yu Lee crushes a 3-run bomb to center to put Erie up 7-0. It’s his 2nd home run of the day and his 3rd of the year. @SamLebo14 calls it. pic.twitter.com/8x7XBzz1AN

There are also some indications that he may have some untapped (sneaky) pop. Finally, he's an above-average defender with good baseball IQ and reaction time. He'll likely play second base long-term, though he's looked solid on the left side of the infield before, too.
Last week, Lee went 7-for-18 with two homers, 10 RBI, four walks, and four strikeouts. There aren't too many prospects who can hit for power while maintaining a respectable K/BB rate, but Lee is one of those players. He'll likely make his MLB debut in 2025.
