(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-She Taipei 2nd) Fubon Guardians' player Yeh Tzu-Ting was removed from yesterday's game in the 3rd inning after starting. Today, in the team's roster adjustments, Yeh Tzu-Ting was demoted to the minor league. Manager Goto Mitsutaka explained that Yeh Tzu-Ting has not been able to control his bat well recently.
Yeh Tzu-Ting, batting 9th, hit a ground out in the top of the 3rd inning yesterday and was replaced in the bottom of the 3rd. In today's team adjustments, in addition to bringing up pitcher Chiang Kuo-Hao, who is scheduled to start today, fielders Yeh Tzu-Ting and Lin Yueh-Ku were sent to the minor league, while Lin Tse-Pin and Chih En-Chi were called up to the first team.
Goto Mitsutaka stated in an interview before today's game that one month into the season, it was a good time to re-evaluate players who were not performing well in the first team and those who were doing well in the minor league, especially where positions overlapped, thus making the adjustments.
Regarding the decision to remove Yeh Tzu-Ting yesterday, manager Goto also pointed out that Yeh Tzu-Ting failed to execute the team's tactics in previous games. "With his current offensive ability, he cannot control the bat well." Although the manager personally trained with Yeh Tzu-Ting and Lin Yueh-Ku during team practice days, both are not yet in their best condition. "Lin Yueh-Ku's swing speed has also dropped quite a bit."
Yesterday, two starting pitchers, Chen Shih-Peng and Huang Pao-Lo, played in the minor league. Goto Mitsutaka said he was aware of their game situations and had been following them. "I believe they are both well prepared." As for the timing of their promotion to the first team, "It will be discussed between the first and minor league pitching coaches to see when it would be most suitable."
