(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-yu, Taipei, May 1) TSG Hawks catcher Liu Shih-hao, who was sent to the minor league due to a running injury, has recently started accompanying the first team. However, because his running condition has not yet returned to 100%, a timetable for his return to the team cannot be released for the time being.
Liu Shih-hao pulled his hamstring during a game on April 17 and was sent down to the minor league the next day for recuperation. He recently started playing in minor league games on April 28 and 29, including playing as a catcher, and has been able to compete in both offense and defense. However, Liu Shih-hao said in an interview before today's game that he still needs to be cautious about running. His current instruction is to accompany the first team for observation.
Hawks catching coach Tu Chuang-hsun pointed out that since the minor league schedule recently happened to be in the northern region, and the first team was also playing in the northern region, Liu Shih-hao was asked to accompany the team to observe his condition. Technically, there are no problems, but he still lacks sprinting ability in running, which may still need to be tracked through minor league games. "All of this has been reported to the head coach (Hung I-chung), and the final decision will be made by the head coach."
This year, two more experienced catchers for the Hawks, Chang Chao-yuan and Liu Shih-hao, have been injured. Tu Chuang-hsun also mentioned that the three catchers currently on the first team, Chen Shih-chia, Wu Po-hsuan, and Wu Ming-hung, are being encouraged that now is a good time. "The opportunity has come; can you show the head coach your performance?" (Edited by: Lin Shu-hui)1150501
