Foreign Slugger 'Magic Eagle' Matches 27-Year Home Run Record

Taiwanese baseball's "Magic Eagle" has etched his name in the record books, hitting his 10th home run of the season in the first inning. This milestone makes him the first foreign player in 27 years to achieve double-digit home runs for three consecutive seasons, a feat not seen since the legendary DeWood of the Brothers Elephants. Magic Eagle's powerful blast in the first inning, a two-run shot, was clocked at an exit velocity of 179 kilometers per hour and traveled 445 feet. His consistent power display this season, following previous years with 30 and 25 home runs, highlights his significant impact on the league. He joins an elite group of foreign batters who have achieved this consecutive double-digit home run mark, including George of the Times Eagles, Kansano of the Wei Chuan Dragons, Conley of the Three Commerce Tigers, Louis of the Brothers Elephants, and Hawk of the Three Commerce Eagles. The record-breaking performance underscores Magic Eagle's status as a formidable slugger in Taiwanese professional baseball.
