Both August MVP races in Taiwan’s Chinese Professional Baseball League ended with the narrowest possible margin: one vote. CTBC Brothers pitcher Rogo and infielder Chang Shih-lun claimed the monthly awards after each finished with seven votes.

Rogo recovered from a difficult start to the season with three wins and a 2.67 earned-run average in August. His closest challenger, Rakuten Monkeys pitcher Appler, produced 21 innings, two wins and a 0.43 ERA during the month, but finished with six votes.

The batting contest was just as close. Chang recorded 29 hits, hit .349 and stole seven bases. Fubon Guardians player Lin Tse-pin posted an even higher .450 batting average in August, yet received six votes to Chang’s seven.

The other pitching candidates included Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions pitcher Blake, who received four votes, and Wei Chuan Dragons player Lin Kai-wei, who received two. The remaining hitting votes went to Fubon’s Chang Yu-cheng, Rakuten’s Wilin Rosario, Brothers catcher Kao Yu-chieh and Fubon’s Fan Kuo-chen.
