MLB's Hottest Streak: Li Hao-yu Delivers Power Hit, RBI to Extend Taiwan's Record

Taiwanese slugger Li Hao-yu is currently in exceptional form, delivering a standout performance for the Detroit Tigers. On July 24, starting as the sixth batter and second baseman against the Kansas City Royals, Li recorded two hits, including a powerful double, and drove in one run, securing the Tigers' 2-1 win and extending their current winning streak to three games.

Facing right-handed pitcher Beck Way, the right-handed batter Li was included in the starting lineup and rewarded the coaching staff's confidence. In the bottom of the first inning with two outs and runners on first and second, Li connected with a 91.6 mph sinker, hitting a line drive to center field for his second run batted in of the game. The ball had an exit velocity of 101 mph.

Later in the game, Li faced left-handed pitcher Noah Cameron. In the sixth inning, Li hit a deep drive to right field off a 94.5 mph fastball, sending the ball to the wall for a double. This hit, with an exit velocity of 105.5 mph and traveling 355 feet, was the Tigers' eighth double of the season. Unfortunately, his teammates could not capitalize on the opportunity.

The Tigers ultimately secured a narrow 2-1 victory, with Li's first-inning RBI proving to be the decisive run. Li finished the game 2-for-3, with his eighth double of the season bringing him within one of matching Lin Tzu-wei's career-high of nine doubles for Taiwanese players in MLB. His batting average stands at .267, with an on-base percentage of .300, a slugging percentage of .413, and an OPS of 0.713. Furthermore, Li has now hit safely in nine consecutive games, extending the longest consecutive hitting streak for a Taiwanese player in MLB history.
