As for the most impressive game this season, Li Haoyu first chose the first game after the All-Star Weekend in mid-July. He said: "I didn't play well in the first half of the season. I thought about some things and relaxed after returning from the All-Star Game. I had two strikeouts in that game, but I kept telling myself that I "I was in good condition. I was in the last seat and had a good plan. I just concentrated on catching the outside corner kick and I caught it!" That game was against the Angels on July 18. At that time, in the 9th inning, Li Haoyu hit a double that turned the game around and helped the Tigers win 2:1.
Another game was against the White Sox on September 19. The Tigers fell behind by a big margin in the first inning. After the first three innings, the Tigers fell behind 2:8. Li Haoyu described that game as a chase all the way, "When the switch was turned on, I just hit hard. In the end, I hit a home run to tie the game." Fans He kept talking trash to me, so I just spat back. I thought, don’t hit me, so I choked back.” He was very domineering in his speech. In this game, Li Haoyu handed over 4 hits and 3 RBIs for the first time in his career, including a tying two-pointer, his 10th of the season.
