Chung Hsin Brothers' former closer, Huang En-tsu, is steadily progressing in his return to baseball through rehabilitation games in the minor leagues. Huang pitched one scoreless inning in a recent game, successfully keeping his earned run average at a perfect zero.
Huang has been sidelined since late June last year due to bone spurs and minor ligament damage in his right elbow. He made his first rehabilitation appearance on June 18th this year and is working towards rejoining the major league roster.
In a recent game where the Brothers' minor league team defeated Taishang, Huang entered in the eighth inning. He efficiently retired all three batters he faced, striking out one. He threw 11 pitches, with only three being fastballs, reaching a top speed of 143 kilometers per hour. This performance extended his scoreless streak in the minors to three innings pitched without allowing a hit, maintaining his 0.00 ERA with four strikeouts and no walks.
