It’s early in the season, but a series between two Florida State League rival
s is getting chippy. Multiple hitters on both teams have been plunked by oppos
ing pitchers and tempers are hot. Another Clearwater Threshers hitter takes a
fastball in the back. His teammates are giving it to the pitcher from the dugo
ut, calling him everything but a Child of God. Right there with them is Hao Yu
 Lee, shouting unprintable words in a language he has yet to master, just as l
oud, if not louder, than his teammates.



Halfway around the world from his homeland of Taiwan, Lee is not just fitting
in, he’s standing out.

來自台灣的他現在不只是融入當地，他還相當突出。

The fiery 19-year-old shortstop who has also logged several games at both seco
nd base and third base this season signed with the Phillies a little less than
 a year ago with a bonus of more than $500,000. He hasn’t stopped working sin
ce. In fact, the Clearwater coaching staff has to remind Lee to take it easy.

這位19歲的激情游擊手，本季也兼守二壘和三壘，不到一年前以50萬美金和費城人簽約，
從那開始他從不停下腳步，球隊教練卻希望他緩一緩。

“If we let him, he’ll hit for 12 hours,” Threshers manager Marty Malloy sai
d. “But it’s a lot easier to get a player to ease off the gas pedal than to
throttle up, and he’s got the gas pedal mashed all the way down.

長尾鯊隊的總教練Marty Malloy說：「如果我們讓他暢打，他可能會自己做12小時的打擊
練習。通常要球員放慢腳步比要他們加緊練習要容易，而李灝宇倒是狂踩油門。」

“As a coach, sometimes you have to be their biggest cheerleader, but at times
 you have to be the guy to pull in the reins a bit,” Clearwater hitting coach
 Jake Elmore said. “You sometimes have to remind him it’s a [145-game] seaso
n.”



The book on Lee was that his hit tool was strong and through two months of the
 season, he has been as advertised. He leads the Florida State League in RBIs
(37 in 41 games) and ranks in the top five in OPS (.869), batting average (.28
8), and hits (45).



He definitely looks ahead of the curve at the plate, and his approach to the g
ame also seems to be one of a more seasoned player.

目前看起來他的打擊表現超前進度，打擊方式看起來更像是個有經驗的選手。

“Mickey Moniak was rehabbing with us last week, and the only guy I saw pickin
g his brain was Lee,” Elmore said. “He would say ‘How do you lay off that p
itch? What were you thinking?’ “He does stuff 19-year-olds don’t do. Mental
ly, he’s beyond his years, and that’s been the most impressive part.”



Lee said he was brought up in the game by traditional, old-school coaches who
told him, “Do you best, or don’t do it at all.” As a freshman in high schoo
l he had a chance to compete against a U.S. team in the U18 Baseball World Cup
. “I saw teams from all over the world and thought, ‘Maybe I could be like t
hem, maybe I can be better,’” Lee said through his translator. “Since I’ve
 gotten here, my goal has always been to get to the major leagues, and that’s
 what drives me.”



Due to the 12-hour time difference between New Taipei and Clearwater, Lee said
 he only speaks to his friends and family one or twice a month, but they text
often. He didn’t get to watch much American baseball growing up, but his favo
rite player is Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton.



When asked what he misses most about home? “Food,” he said. “Pork braised r
ice and beef noodle.”

被問到最想念家鄉的什麼？他說是食物，魯肉飯和牛肉麵。

Scouts and draftniks love to use player comparisons to project talent in young
 prospects. While Malloy stayed away from giving a name, Elmore likened Lee to
 an A.L. MVP winner.

球探在評價新秀的時候喜歡用模板來比較，總教練Malloy不這麼做，不過打擊教練Elmore
則把他和一位前美聯MVP連結。

“His demeanor and his play remind me of Dustin Pedroia,” he said. “He’s ha
rd-nosed, he’ll fight for his team, fight for himself, and he won’t take any
thing from the other team.”

Elmore說：「他的行為舉止和打球方式讓我想起Dustin Pedroia。他頑強執著，為球隊打
拼，也為自己打拼，而且他不會拿其他隊的東西。(編按：意指效忠自己球隊)」


好表現，最終達成升上大聯盟的夢想！
