Biographical Information

Javier Wong debuted for the Ecuadorian national team in the 2022 South American Championship. In his first game, he relieved Israel Saldarriaga in the bottom of the 4th with a 7-0 deficit against Argentina, one on and two out. He allowed a RBI single to José Gerez then retired Mauricio Nagahashi. In the 5th, he walked Sebastián García and allowed a single to Jacinto Cipriota and a two-run double to Agustín Tissera to cause the game to come to a mercy rule ending. His other two outings went far better, with 1 2/3 shutout innings against Bolivia and getting his first K (Cristian Soliz) then going 2 2/3 scoreless versus champion Brazil. He led his team in appearances, tying Diego Echeverría and Juan Casas for the event lead. He also finished third on Ecuador in ERA after Orlando León and Damián Villanueva.
