In a unique turn of events during the Rakuten Monkeys' "Dong Zi Party" event, player Yu De-lung stepped onto the pitcher's mound against the Wei Chuan Dragons. With the score significantly in favor of the opposing team, Yu De-lung, known for his versatility, was called upon to pitch. Although he conceded a home run to Gilje-golu Gong-gong, he also achieved his first career strikeout.

Yu De-lung, often referred to as the "Fu Lu Shou" (a trio of good fortune deities) of the Rakuten Monkeys and considered the team's most reliable player, demonstrated his commitment beyond the field. When teammate Xu He-jie had to miss the post-game concert due to a family emergency, Yu De-lung stepped in to fill his role.

He began his performance by singing the classic song "Hotline You and Me." Later, he added another song, "Little Shepherd," and engaged with the enthusiastic crowd. His performance included interacting with fans and even performing an indigenous dance, which drew cheers from the audience.
