(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, Taipei, 1st) Fubon Guardians infielder Fan Kuo-Chen has maintained his good form since the start of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL season), winning his second career Monthly Hitter MVP award. Fan Kuo-Chen stated that it is not easy to maintain peak performance throughout the month, and although his condition has declined slightly in recent games, coaches have assisted with adjustments, and he is trying to do what he can control at the moment.
Fubon Guardians infielder Fan Kuo-Chen has maintained good performance so far this season. In March and April, he played 20 games, hitting 24 hits, including 5 home runs, contributing 15 RBIs, and boasting a batting average of .338. He won the March and April Hitter MVP, making it his second CPBL Monthly Hitter MVP since June 2022.
Fan Kuo-Chen clearly remembers the last time he won the Monthly MVP. He chuckled, saying it's very difficult to maintain a peak performance throughout the entire month. He recalled the 2022 award more vividly because of the pandemic at the time, with potential for game delays and cancellations at any moment, which made it more memorable.
Fan Kuo-Chen stated that from offseason preparation to spring training, he tried to refresh himself and maintain good condition to have a good performance at the start of the season. However, May is a new month, and both he and the team need to continue working hard.
Fan Kuo-Chen's condition has declined slightly in recent games. He mentioned that coaches have helped him with technical adjustments, and he has also done a lot of extra homework himself. Baseball is inherently a sport with a high failure rate. Coaches also reminded him that he has accumulated good results earlier, so there's no need to be overly anxious about a few performances, nor should he try to do things beyond his capabilities.
Fan Kuo-Chen said that it takes a lot of effort to maintain good performance throughout the year. Now, he keeps his thoughts simpler, focusing on what he can control. His main goal is still for the team to win, and to see how he can help the team on the field. (Editor: Chen Jen-hua) 1150501
