Taiwanese pitcher Pan Wen-hui promoted to Double-A after dominant High-A stint

Taiwanese fireballer Pan Wen-hui has earned a promotion to Double-A, continuing his ascent through the Philadelphia Phillies' farm system. The 23-year-old pitcher, who had previously reached Double-A in September 2024, saw his 2025 season cut short by Tommy John surgery in November.

Pan began the current season at Double-A but started on the injured list. After returning, he pitched in rehabilitation games in both Class A and High-A. His performance in High-A was particularly stellar, where he appeared in nine games, throwing 11 innings. During this stretch, he allowed only six hits, struck out 13 batters, and posted a remarkable 0.82 earned run average and a 0.73 walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP).

His batting average against in High-A was a mere 0.158, showcasing his dominant control and effectiveness. This impressive stint has now paved the way for his move to Double-A, as he continues to work towards his goal of reaching Major League Baseball.
