Two-Way Versatility & Academic Excellence
Two-Way Versatility & Academic Excellence
I am a highly versatile, two-way student-athlete from Taiwan, currently competing as a right-handed pitcher and versatile infielder in the United States while maintaining a flawless 4.0 GPA. Throughout my college career, my dedication in the classroom and on the field earned me back-to-back First-Team All-Conference honors, Team MVP, and the Male Raider of the Year award.
World-Class Defensive Tools & Elite Honors
World-Class Defensive Tools & Elite Honors
My defensive tools have been proven at the highest international and domestic levels. In 2023, I won the prestigious "Gold Glove Second Base" award at the Babe Ruth U18 World Series here in the US to help Taiwan secure the Bronze medal. Prior to coming to the US, I was also named the "Best Third Base" in Taiwan's premier 2024 E-Sun Cup National Championship and earned "Tournament MVP" honors at an international invitation championship.
The Turning Point: Discovery by Alan Chang
The Turning Point: Discovery by Alan Chang
My journey to the US was inspired by Alan Chang—the legendary MLB agent who represented the iconic New York Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang. After evaluating my tools at the World Series, Alan recognized my exceptionally wide defensive range, quick feet, and agility. Projecting me to follow the path of fellow Taiwanese star Tsung-Che Cheng (currently a standout player in the Boston Red Sox Triple-A system), he strongly urged me to challenge the US system to maximize my ceiling.
High Character & The "Rubber Arm" Reliability
High Character & The "Rubber Arm" Reliability
In a league where players typically compete for just one summer, my performance under high pressure during my first season earned the deep trust of Head Coach Keith Griffin, who nicknamed me "Rubber Arm" for my durability. Because of this impact, I was honored with a rare second-year contract extension to return to the Amsterdam Mohawks for another championship run—a testament to my competitive drive and team-first mentality.
2027 MLB Draft: The Ultimate Stage
2027 MLB Draft: The Ultimate Stage
As an international student-athlete, next summer upon graduating from JuCo will be my final, absolute prime shot at the MLB Draft; otherwise, I will return to Taiwan to focus solely on my academic studies. This second season with the Amsterdam Mohawks is my ultimate stage—I am extremely hungry, prepared, and ready to put my world-class tools on display for professional ballclubs.
