Lee Haoyu Extends Taiwanese MLB Hitting Streak to 11 Games

Detroit Tigers outfielder Lee Haoyu continued his hot start in Major League Baseball, extending his streak to 11 consecutive games with a hit, the longest by a Taiwanese player in the majors. The streak surpasses Lin Tzu‑wei’s previous record of nine games and places Haoyu second only to Zhang Yucheng’s 24‑game run.

In a recent matchup against the Kansas City Royals, Haoyu recorded his season’s sixth home run—a 402‑foot shot that drove in two runs—though the Tigers fell short, losing the game. Manager A.J. Hinch praised Haoyu’s development, noting his ability to produce off every opportunity.

The performances highlight the growing impact of Taiwan‑born talent in MLB, with Haoyu’s consistent offense contributing significantly to the Tigers’ scoring despite the defeats.
