Wei Chuan Dragons pitcher Huang Tzu-peng has delivered a stellar performance, living up to his hefty contract and shattering a long-standing league record. In a dominant outing against the Fubon Guardians, Huang pitched six scoreless innings, extending his personal scoreless streak to an impressive 33.2 innings.
This remarkable feat surpassed the previous record of 22 years held by Yang Chien-fu for the longest scoreless streak by a domestic pitcher in the league. Huang's performance not only showcased his exceptional pitching ability but also marked a significant milestone in the history of Taiwanese professional baseball.
