Taiwanese slugger Hao-Yu Lee is making a strong case for a return to the major leagues, showcasing his power in a recent Double-A game for the Detroit Tigers organization. Playing as the cleanup hitter and second baseman for the Erie SeaWolves, Lee launched his second home run of the season in the first inning.

The two-run blast came against Matthew Boyd, a former Tigers pitcher currently on a rehabilitation assignment with the Chicago Cubs' Double-A affiliate. Lee connected with a 93.4 mph fastball on the outer half of the plate, sending it a projected 349 feet to right field for a 2-0 lead.
