TLDR

  • Chinese Professional Baseball League player Tseng Ping-yang, recently acquired by the CTBC Brothers, recorded his fastest pitch at 151 kph against his former team, the TSG Hawks.
  • Tseng, who was released by the Hawks after three appearances in 2022, has shown promise in the minor league, striking out two batters in one inning.
  • The 26-year-old pitcher is aiming to make a comeback to the top-tier league after a two-year absence, with his performance against his old team marking a significant step.

The CTBC Brothers have brought in a promising talent in 26-year-old pitcher Tseng Ping-yang, who is making waves in the minor league. His recent outing against his former team, the TSG Hawks, saw him unleash a blistering 151 kph fastball, setting a new personal best for the CPBL and showcasing his potential. Tseng, who was a ninth-round pick by the Hawks in 2022, had a brief stint in their major league team before being released. He then played in the Chinese Baseball League, where he demonstrated his strikeout ability. Now with the Brothers, Tseng is working towards a return to the top flight, and his performance against the Hawks is a strong indicator of his progress. This development is particularly exciting for the Brothers' pitching rotation, as they look to bolster their roster for the upcoming season. The league is always on the lookout for homegrown talent with high velocity, and Tseng's emergence could be a significant boost for Taiwanese baseball.

The 26-year-old fireballer acquired by the CTBC Brothers this year, Tseng Ping-yang, threw his fastest pitch at 151 kilometers per hour against his old team, the TSG Hawks, today in the minor league, setting a new personal best since joining the Brothers.
