Biographical Information

Chun-Nan Lai had a brief career in the CPBL.

Lai represented Taiwan in the 2004 Haarlemse Honkbalweek. The Macoto Cobras selected him in the second round of the 2006 CPBL Draft, and he debuted in 2008. He pitched 7 innings with 7 strikeouts against the La New Bears in his debut with only one run allowed, and he became the first southpaw to get a win in his first game in the CPBL. Lai was also selected into the 2008 CPBL All-Star Game, but he didn't pitch. He ended up having a 6-6 record with a 7.11 ERA in his rookie season. However, Lai was then involved in a game-fixing scandal, and the league banned him for life.

Lai's repertoire included a fastball (peak 89.4 mph), curveball, slider and changeup.
