Nineteen-year-old pitcher Huang Yu-Sheng, a promising self-trained player for the Fubon Guardians, saw his streak of scoreless innings broken during a recent minor league game.

In a game against Rakuten, Huang entered the game in the bottom of the third inning with one out and runners on first and third. He managed to contain the threat by picking off the runner at first base and then striking out the next batter, successfully stopping the rally. However, his scoreless streak came to an end in the fourth inning.
Facing a bases-loaded situation, Huang issued a walk, forcing in a run for the opposing team. This marked his first earned run since joining the Fubon Guardians organization. He finished his appearance after pitching 1.2 innings, during which he allowed one run on three hits and issued two walks, while recording one strikeout. He threw a total of 37 pitches.
Prior to this game, Huang had appeared in nine games this season, securing two holds and pitching a total of nine innings with a 1.00 ERA. The right-handed pitcher, who can throw up to 150 km/h, joined the Guardians after graduating from Taitung Senior High School and continuing his development at Culture University, where he improved his velocity and control, earning recognition in collegiate and spring league competitions.
