Hello I am Edward Today we are going to talk about Nippon Professional Baseball Actually, there are not many Taiwanese pitchers who have performed well in Nippon Professional Baseball The more famous ones include But, do you know? In the late 2000s, there was a Taiwanese pitcher who dominated Nippon Professional Baseball Do you know who it is? That’s right He is our Taiwanese hero Back in the day, Wei-Yin Chen set many records in Nippon Professional Baseball No more chit-chat, raise your hand Hey and countdown with the kids TOP 1 In 2005, Wei-Yin Chen, at the young age of 19, became the youngest opening day pitcher in the history of the Chunichi Dragons On March 31, 2005, at the age of 19, he became the youngest opening day pitcher in the history of the Chunichi Dragons This was undoubtedly a remarkable achievement However, when Chen made his debut on April 3, 2005, facing the Yokohama BayStars, he experienced a disappointing performance In this game, he struck out three batters but also gave up five hits and allowed five runs, four of which were earned This debut was indeed a tough test and a shocking education for him This experience showed that even talented young players need to face challenges and adversity and learn and grow from them Think about it What were you doing at 19? I was in college at that time How about you? So, for Wei-Yin Chen to become an opening day pitcher at the age of 19 is truly remarkable Unfortunately, in 2006, a year later, Chen had elbow surgery and a year later in 2007, he became a developmental player Are you now familiar with the term "developmental player"? August 2009 Pitcher of the Month MVP In August 2009, Wei-Yin Chen’s outstanding performance earned him the Central League Pitcher of the Month MVP He started 4 games, pitched 33 innings, and won 3 games, including one shutout with an ERA of only 0.82 and contributed 2 RBIs This was not only his first personal award in NPB, but also made him the first player in NPB history to win a monthly MVP after being a developmental player This achievement not only proved Chen’s excellent pitching skills but also highlighted his relentless efforts and set an example for other developmental players His August ERA was only 0.82, meaning if he pitched 9 innings, it would be tough to score even one run off him Superb TOP 3 Fourth shutout of the 2009 season at Hanshin Koshien Stadium On September 8, 2009, Wei-Yin Chen pitched his fourth shutout of the season against the Hanshin Tigers at Hanshin Koshien Stadium He became the first Taiwanese pitcher since Tsao Chin-Hui in 1989, and Kuo Yuen-Chih and Kuo Tai-Yuan in 1991, to achieve four shutouts in a single season in NPB after 18 years This achievement highlighted Chen’s outstanding performance and dominance as a pitcher His performance not only brought him personal glory, but also raised the reputation and status of Taiwanese baseball on the international stage In 2009, if I remember correctly, NPB was still in a high-hitting, low-pitching era The hitters were particularly strong, so the ERA for pitchers was generally higher Therefore, Chen’s low ERA and multiple shutouts were truly remarkable Previously, reporters had interviewed NPB players and asked, "Which pitcher’s pitches are the hardest to hit?" Many players said that Wei-Yin Chen’s pitches were very difficult to hit, especially his fastball It’s as fast as a whip But using a whip to describe a pitch might also be related to Japan’s unique culture TOP 4 2009 Central League ERA Champion in NPB October 11, 2009 at Meiji Jingu Stadium against the Tokyo Yakult Swallows he made his final regular-season start of the season pitching three scoreless innings After this game, he finished the season with a 1.54 ERA and an 8-4 record Although he did not achieve his preseason goal of 10 wins or break the team record of 1.35 ERA set by Shigeru Sugishita, Chen’s heroic performance had the best ERA in both leagues and was the best in 39 years across both leagues Although Chen’s record was only 8-4, with such a low ERA, the number of wins was a bit low But that’s okay because the number of wins is not something a pitcher can control If you pitch well, but your teammates can’t score, it’s useless Also, the Chunichi Dragons have a characteristic of being weak hitters… So, for Chen to get 8 wins that year was actually pretty good TOP 5 Ranked second among the greatest Chunichi Dragons foreign players Japanese media Baseball Channel ranked the foreign pitchers in Chunichi Dragons history The top two were both Taiwanese pitchers Kuo Yuen-Chih ranked first and powerful left-hander Wei-Yin Chen ranked second This is not only a recognition of Chen personally, but also a new chapter of glory for Taiwanese baseball This honor will forever be remembered in Chunichi Dragons history as a shining moment for the fans Subsequently, due to his good performance with the Dragons, Chen moved to Major League Baseball joining the Baltimore Orioles In fact, Chen performed well in the MLB too Although his ERA was higher in the MLB, it was still within a reasonable range So, in reality, the Orioles’ investment was worthwhile Playing abroad is tough We should cheer for all players abroad After his MLB career ended, Chen returned to NPB joining the Chiba Lotte Marines and Hanshin Tigers Although he couldn’t replicate his earlier form, considering his age, his performance was still commendable So, that’s the story of Wei-Yin Chen for today ~ I hope those who don’t like sports will start to like sports after watching my video I’m Edward BYE BYE ~
