CPBL: De Laosa ties for 10th all-time in wins, declares 'Forever a Brothers man'

Veteran CTBC Brothers foreign pitcher De Laosa reached a significant milestone in his career, securing his 76th win in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL). This victory places him in a tie for 10th place on the all-time wins list, matching former Brothers pitcher Feng Shen. The 38-year-old hurler achieved this feat during his start on July 13th, before the All-Star break, delivering a strong performance with five scoreless innings against the Fubon Guardians.

Following his career achievement, De Laosa publicly declared his loyalty to the team, stating, "Forever a Brothers man." This sentiment underscores his deep connection to the CTBC Brothers, expressing a desire to conclude his professional baseball career with the club.

De Laosa, who has battled injuries impacting his playing time in previous seasons, has made a strong comeback this year. Despite a limited season in 2025 where he pitched fewer than 100 innings for the first time since arriving in Taiwan, he has accumulated a 5-3 record with a 1.73 ERA this season. His recent win further solidifies his importance to the Brothers' rotation.

The CTBC Brothers are scheduled to face the TSG Hawks in their next home game. The Hawks have demonstrated a notable advantage over the Brothers this season, holding a commanding 9-3 record in their matchups. This upcoming game marks the first encounter between the two teams in the second half of the season. The TSG Hawks plan to start foreign pitcher Hou Chin, who has a 3-6 record and a 4.71 ERA this season, having lost six consecutive starts after an initial three-game winning streak.
