(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-She, Taoyuan, May 9) Rakuten Monkeys starting pitcher Tseng Chia-Hui did not want to be replaced yesterday, completing his first career 6-inning outing with only 1 earned run, continuing his excellent performance since the start of the season. Fans have nicknamed him "Hui-Neng-Ti," comparing his performance to foreign pitcher Wei-Neng-Ti (Pedro Fernandez). Unexpectedly, Wei-Neng-Ti also calls him that.
Tseng Chia-Hui delivered a quality start of 6 innings with 1 earned run against the Uni-President 7-ELEVEn Lions yesterday, setting a new personal record for the longest pitching innings in his Chinese Professional Baseball League career. During an interview with the media today, he stated that he had previously pitched 5.1 innings and especially wanted to complete 6 innings this time, saying, "I don't like the feeling of being replaced."
However, Tseng Chia-Hui pointed out that his pitching felt less good yesterday compared to previous games. "I couldn't pitch wherever I wanted; my overall condition and velocity weren't ideal. I'm grateful for the catcher's guidance, which allowed me to extend the innings." Pitching coach Kawagishi Tsuyoshi also reminded him before his start yesterday that he was too cautious against the CTBC Brothers last time, saying, "This time, be bold and attack the strike zone."
After Tseng Chia-Hui delivered a 5-inning, 1-run performance at the start of this season, his own fans nicknamed him "Hui-Neng-Ti." Unexpectedly, even his Monkeys teammates started calling him that. Tseng Chia-Hui laughed and said, "Wei-Neng-Ti (Pedro Fernandez) also calls me that in Chinese."
Tseng Chia-Hui said that he usually interacts with foreign players and has asked Morgan McSweeney about different slider grips. (Editor: Wu Su-Jou) 1150509
