(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, Taipei, 1st) Wei Chuan Dragons left-handed pitcher Wang Ding-ying, who previously underwent two surgeries, has nerve damage causing numbness in his fingertips. Manager Yeh Chun-chang stated that he is expected to undergo minor surgery this month to address the issue; as for another left-handed pitcher, Chang Ching-yu, Yeh Chun-chang believes his mindset is affecting his control.
Dragons left-handed pitcher Wang Ding-ying underwent two elbow surgeries in 2023 and returned to the mound in 2025. In 2025, he made a total of 16 appearances in the first team, pitching 12.1 innings with an ERA of 4.38. However, he has no first or second team appearances so far this year.
Dragons Manager Yeh Chun-chang stated that after Wang Ding-ying's previous surgeries, his nerves were somewhat damaged, causing numbness in his fingertips. He is expected to undergo minor surgery this month to address it and will not play for a short period, but it won't be too long, as the minor surgery is estimated to heal in a few weeks.
Regarding the situation of another Dragons left-handed pitcher, Chang Ching-yu, Yeh Chun-chang frankly said that Chang Ching-yu's control issues stem from his mindset. He puts a lot of pressure on himself and may not be able to accept even slightly poor pitching. As soon as he pitches poorly, he tends to put more pressure on himself, which makes him pitch even worse. Currently, Chang Ching-yu will continue to play in the minor league, and he will have a chance to return to the first team once he can adjust.
Chang Ching-yu has made 6 appearances in the minor league so far this season, pitching a total of 4.2 innings, giving up 6 runs (4 earned runs), with a record of 1 win and 1 loss, and an ERA of 7.71. (Editors: Hsieh Ya-chu) 1150501
