(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, New Taipei, 8th) 26-year-old infielder Tung Yu-cheng, who transitioned from a development player to an official player, was promoted to the first team today and immediately got a starting opportunity, playing as the 7th batter and right fielder in the Fubon Guardians vs. Wei Chuan Dragons game.
Tung Yu-cheng is the son of retired player Tung Tsung-hui. Last year, he performed a "cycle" at the CPBL draft tryout, attracting attention with his physical condition, but was not selected by any team in the draft, failing twice in the CPBL draft. In mid-July last year, he joined the Fubon Guardians as a development player.
Last year, Tung Yu-cheng played 22 games in the second team with a batting average of .375. This season, he has played 13 games so far, hitting 11 hits, including 2 home runs, contributing 10 RBIs, and a batting average of .344. The Guardians officially registered Tung Yu-cheng on the 6th.
Tung Yu-cheng, now an official player, wears the Guardians' No. 00 jersey. He was placed in the starting lineup immediately upon his promotion to the first team today and will make his professional baseball first-team debut at the Guardians' home stadium, Xinzhuang Baseball Stadium.
