Taiwanese Two-Way Player Lin Chun-hsi Signs with Pittsburgh Pirates

Lin Chun-hsi, a talented two-way player from Ta Hsi High School in Taiwan, has officially signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The announcement was made on the Pirates' official website, marking a significant step in the young athlete's career.

Lin is a right-handed pitcher and batter, known for his dual capabilities on the baseball field. As a pitcher, he can throw fastballs up to 148 kilometers per hour. Offensively, he has secured multiple batting awards during his time in Taiwan. His versatility makes him a promising prospect for the Pirates organization.

Last year, Lin was selected to represent Taiwan in the U18 Baseball World Cup. During the tournament, he primarily served as a relief pitcher, appearing in four games and pitching 5.1 innings. He impressed by striking out eight batters and did not allow any runs.

Ta Hsi High School has a strong baseball program, and Lin's signing follows that of outfielder Liao Yu-lin, who joined the Milwaukee Brewers last year. Lin's move to professional baseball abroad continues the school's tradition of developing talent for international play.
