Wang Ting-Ying's Numb Fingers to Undergo Surgery Soon, Chang Ching-Yu's Mentality Affects Control

(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, Taipei, May 1st) Wei Chuan Dragons left-handed pitcher Wang Ting-Ying, who underwent surgery twice previously, has nerve damage causing numbness in his fingertips. Manager Yeh Chun-Chang stated that a minor surgery is scheduled for this month to address the issue. As for another left-handed pitcher, Chang Ching-Yu, Yeh Chun-Chang believes his mentality is affecting his control.

Dragons left-handed pitcher Wang Ting-Ying underwent elbow surgery twice 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 appearance records so far this year.

Dragons manager Yeh Chun-Chang said that after Wang Ting-Ying's previous surgeries, some nerves were damaged, causing numbness in his fingertips. A minor surgery is scheduled for this month, and he will not be able to play for a short period, but it won't be too long; the minor surgery is expected to heal in a few weeks.

Regarding the situation of another Dragons left-handed pitcher, Chang Ching-Yu, Yeh Chun-Chang directly stated that Chang Ching-Yu's control issues stem from his mentality. 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 even more pressure on himself, which leads to even worse pitching. Currently, Chang Ching-Yu will continue to play in the second team, and he will have a chance to return to the first team when he can make adjustments.

Chang Ching-Yu has made 6 appearances in the second team this season so far, 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. (Editor: Hsieh Ya-chu) 1150501
