⚾ Baseball | Taiwanese MLB Players

Despite Yu Chang getting hurt in spring training, Teng Kai-wei did make it into the Giants’ roster becoming the first Taiwanese Giants players. Teng pitched his first game yesterday. The game was already blown out with a 0:10 home lead for the Padres by the 3rd inning when Daulton Jefferies got taken off the mound. Teng pitched 3 innings, giving up 3 runs in the first one, and then only allowed 1 single in the next 2 innings. He struck out 4 in total, walked 3.

He struck out Padres’ Korean slugger Kim Ha-Seong, who hit a grand slam in the 2nd inning. He also struck out Tatis.

Still got control problems.

The ump didn’t help either though.

Connor Joe go ahead RBI double.

He is not Taiwanese. His grandparents were from China.

The only Taiwanese player in the MLB right now is Kai-Wei Teng.

My brother was at the game and sent me this. I searched on YouTube and no video turned up. Only highlights on 緯來.

Good performance vs Nats.

Here’s to hoping he makes it back soon.

Golden era of potential?

Roshi is better suited for the MLB.

Lighter workloads—they don’t pitch past twice the order.

Vs the NPB, wherein they abuse you.

He has a greater induced vertical break than Yamamoto.

He’s getting called up again.

His 38% strikeout rate at Sacramento is obscene.

It’s Kaiwei or the highway.

Not too shabby second outing.

He started, but from the second inning.

He got out of a bases-loaded, zero out jam in the fifth.

Threw three pitches to end the inning. First a force out at home, then a 6-4-3 double play.

They might be more players if they did not have eat a fly for extra protein, but player does not like maggots in meals (TOFU MAGGOT)

The meals sounds worse than very poor in Taiwan eat? So terrible the team has no money.

Kaiwei will start against the Padres.

Looks like a grandpa in that image

Pitching takes a toll on you

Yikes.

That’s probably it for him starting.
