Central News Agency (Taipei, 29th) Fubon Guardians outfielder Lin Shu-yi struggled at the start of the season but has improved since finding a suitable batting stance in May. He was promoted to the first team today after transferring and will face his former team, the CTBC Brothers. Lin admitted that while he has many memories of his former team, his goal is to help his current team win.
Lin was drafted by the Brothers in 2016. After not being included in the Brothers' 60-man roster last season, he chose to join the Guardians. His recent performance in the minor league led to today's promotion.
Lin revealed that he struggled early this season while trying new things in a new environment. After discussing with coaches, he found his own batting stance. Since May, his stance has stabilized, and he has been adjusting well through games.
Lin said, "From the Brothers to the Guardians, I've worked hard as if I were a rookie. At first, I wasn't ready and didn't perform well, so I didn't think about the first team. I just wanted to play well. When I got the call, it felt like the first time I was promoted—I was moved."
At 33, Lin is the oldest outfielder for the Guardians. He laughed, saying there are no seniors left to call in the outfield, and he had to get used to the younger players' slang. He noted they are talented players who just need more experience.
Facing the CTBC Brothers in his first game back on the first team, Lin admitted it would be emotional. "It would be a lie to say I feel nothing. I spent 10 years with the Brothers and have many familiar teammates. But now I am a Guardians player, and I will do my best to win for the team and the fans."
