Lin Chen-Hsun, a contemporary of Li Hao-Yu and Lin Yu-Min, upon hearing news of Li Hao-Yu's promotion to the major leagues, laughed and said he was honored to have caught Li Hao-Yu's pitches, praising his unyielding and brave fighting spirit.
Dragons catcher Lin Chen-Hsun attended the opening press conference for the 115th Yang Hsin Bank Cup Junior High Baseball Championship today. The Yang Hsin Bank Cup Junior High Baseball Championship is a selection tournament for the Pony League's Junior High division. Lin Chen-Hsun was also part of the championship-winning team in the 2016 Pony Junior High league, hitting a total of 12 home runs in the Asia-Pacific region and World Series that year, setting a record.
Lin Chen-Hsun stated that the psychological state during international competitions varies at each stage. In elementary school, playing abroad was mostly about excitement and happiness. By junior high, there was some pressure, knowing they represented Taiwan and were competing against top players from around the world.
Lin Chen-Hsun has international competition experience at all three levels of youth baseball. He also mentioned that if given the opportunity, he hopes to represent the country at the senior level, but the primary condition is first possessing the necessary ability.
Lin Chen-Hsun was also a member of the Chinese Taipei national team for the 2019 U18 Baseball World Cup, which included members like Li Hao-Yu and Lin Yu-Min. Lin Chen-Hsun is one year older than Li Hao-Yu. When asked if he felt pressure during high school games against Pingzhen and facing Li Hao-Yu, Lin Chen-Hsun replied that Koubao and Pingzhen are very familiar opponents. As part of Koubao himself, he and Lin Yu-Min, as catcher and pitcher, had many opportunities to play against Li Hao-Yu. At that time, both Lin Yu-Min and Li Hao-Yu seemed to be beyond the high school level.
Lin Chen-Hsun expressed that competing with skilled players around him in high school often felt like sparring, and he looks forward to soon hearing good news about Lin Yu-Min's ascent to the major leagues. He praised Lin Yu-Min and Li Hao-Yu for having very similar traits: an unyielding personality and a fierce competitive drive. "I am honored to have caught Lin Yu-Min's balls and equally honored to have caught Li Hao-Yu's balls." (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150420
