Dragons' manager Yeh Chun-chang humorously commented on Lin's success, exclaiming, "He's so good at stealing wins!" Lin's eight wins this season already surpass his combined total of five wins over the previous four years. He has been particularly effective in recent games, securing three wins in his last four appearances.

We have 8 wins and 1 loss in extra innings this year? Hope we can keep it up.

— Yeh Chun-changCommenting on the team's performance in extended games.

Lin's performance places him second among all pitchers in wins, trailing only Li Tung-ming, who has ten wins. Notably, Lin is the only pitcher among the league leaders with at least eight wins who is not a starting pitcher. His efficiency is also remarkable, having pitched 41 innings compared to the league leader's 98.2 innings, demonstrating his significant impact in relief roles.

Only 2 games behind? He has a chance every week!
