Hao-Yu Lee is a fantasy baseball prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know for Week 8 (2024). Read MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies, call-ups.
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.

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.
