  • Former CTBC Brothers pitcher Angel Macuare is dominating the Chinese Baseball Premier League (CPBL) Summer League.
  • Macuare has pitched 16.2 scoreless innings across three starts, striking out 20 batters with a perfect 0.00 ERA.
  • The Venezuelan pitcher, who previously played in Taiwan's minor league, has found significant success in China.

Angel Macuare, a former pitcher for Taiwan's CTBC Brothers, is making waves in the Chinese baseball scene. Playing for the Shanghai Whales in the CPBL Summer League, Macuare has been nearly unhittable.

In his latest outing, the 26-year-old Venezuelan delivered a "quality start," throwing six scoreless innings and allowing only five hits while striking out four batters. His strong pitching led the Whales to a decisive 7-1 victory over the Fuzhou Strait.

Macuare's performance in China has been nothing short of dominant. Across three appearances, he boasts a perfect 0.00 earned run average, having pitched 16.2 innings without allowing a single run. He has also racked up an impressive 20 strikeouts, with a mere 0.66 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched).

Macuare previously played in Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the Brothers this season. However, he only appeared in 13 games in their minor league system, posting a 4.50 ERA, and never reached the top team. His contract expired in early August and he was subsequently signed by the Shanghai Whales.
