MiLB: Li Chen-Hsun shines! Taiwanese fireballer has 13 innings, 12K, 0 ERA

Taiwanese "fireballer" Li Chen-Hsun, a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants' Class-A affiliate, continues to impress despite allowing two unearned runs in a recent relief appearance. Pitching one inning against the Rockies' Class-A team, Li gave up one hit and issued two wild pitches, but crucially, none of the runs were earned.

This performance means Li's earned run average (ERA) for the season remains a perfect 0.00. He has pitched a total of 13 innings across nine appearances for the Class-A team this season, striking out 12 batters while allowing five runs, all of which were unearned.

Li, who signed with the Giants in 2023 for a reported $800,000 USD, faced a challenging start to his professional career. After pitching four games in the rookie league in 2023 with a high ERA, he underwent Tommy John surgery. He missed the entire 2024 season and did not play in 2025 due to recovery and rehabilitation.

After a two-year hiatus, Li began the current season in the rookie league before earning a promotion to Class-A in early July. His continued success in preventing earned runs highlights his potential as he works his way through the Giants' minor league system.
