〔體育中心/綜合報導〕老虎今年無緣季後賽,進入休季的課題將是檢視明年的核心陣容,老虎媒體《Bless You Boys》撰文指出,在本季啟用大量新人之下,其實有不少位置人選已經確定,而23歲台灣怪力男李灝宇,幾乎也已確保明年會在大聯盟開季。
《Bless You Boys》在文章開頭給了李灝宇「台灣虎」(Taiwan Tiger)的綽號,「請容許我們這樣稱呼他,我們還在想更好的稱呼。」接著指出,李灝宇在季初因傷兵問題,非常早就升上大聯盟,但歷經低潮後被下放,「如今球迷已經更了解李灝宇那種火爆、極度好勝的個性,你可以想像他當時非常不滿,幸好他把這段經歷銘記在心,回到大聯盟後,在心理層面上也準備得更加充分。」

美媒指出,李灝宇被叫回大聯盟後,6月剩餘時間裡繳出151的wRC+,並一路待到球季結束,7月的wRC+也高達132,8月與9月則分別為118與113,儘管6、7月的爆發確實受到一點好運眷顧,但李灝宇在最後2個月的表現仍相當穩定,展現逐漸適應大聯盟、維持高於聯盟平均火力的跡象;而他下半季的平均擊球初速也來到91.1英哩,也常在關鍵時刻建功,對一名年輕球員來說令人欣慰。
此外,李灝宇23.9%三振率、8.2%保送率也在聯盟平均水準,揮空率雖然高了一些,但這些數據也包含他在季初尚未適應大聯盟的時間,儘管他的加權上壘率0.325比預期加權上壘率0.302高,顯示他實際成績可能會有些微校正回歸的傾向,但以一位23歲新秀來說,這樣的表現已經相當出色,而李灝宇應該還能持續進步,降低三振率,雖然沒有任何保證,但要相信李灝宇會拚盡全力變好,似乎並不是一件難事。
守備方面是李灝宇目前要應付的最大課題,《Bless You Boys》筆者表示,他在李灝宇效力老虎農場體系期間看過他很多比賽,對於李灝宇在二、三壘防區的掙扎有些意外。李灝宇自然稱不上是優質防守者,但他本季出現的失誤類型在小聯盟時期並不常見;李灝宇的傳球手感確實並非最柔軟,但筆者認為,隨著時間與經驗累積,李灝宇在二、三壘的防守評價會更趨近於平均水準。
《Bless You Boys》總結,李灝宇或是還不是明年可以先發155場比賽的球員,但也絕非單純的左、右投專武打者,如果李灝宇想成為真正具有威脅性的強打,還需要增加更多拉打能力,不過目前他已經展現出平均水準的長打能力,未來也還可能再進步。除非春訓出現災難性表現,否則李灝宇將會進入明年開幕戰名單,且還可能有不少時間擔任先發三壘手,不過這要取決農場大物安德森(Max Anderson)是否已經準備好為老虎鎮守二壘,以及佩克(John Peck)的打擊能否有更多成長並站穩游擊。
