Biographical Information

Po-Ching Chen has played in the CPBL and for the Taiwanese national team.

Chen was drafted by the TSG Hawks in the 12th round of the 2022 CPBL Draft. He soon became their ace, and pitched well in his rookie year in the minor league. He was 4-1 with a 3.06 ERA, and led the league in both ERA and strikeouts (63). In the championship series of the CPBL minor league, Chen pitched 7 innings with only 2 runs allowed, and helped the Hawks beat the Fubon Guardians.

The Nantou native then represented Taiwan in the 2023 Asia Professional Baseball Championship. He relieved Jyun-Yueh Tseng in the 9th inning against Japan with the bases loaded. Chen allowed a RBI single to Makoto Kadowaki and walked Yuki Nomura, then he finally retired Yuki Okabayashi to end this inning. He then replaced Chun-Wei Chiu in the 5th inning against Australia in the Bronze Medal game. Chen retired 7 straight batters, but he had trouble in the 7th inning. He allowed 3 consecutive hits to Christopher Burke, Mitchell Edwards and Luke Smith, then Tzu-Chiang Lee replaced him. Lee gave up a game-tying 2-run single to Clayton Campbell, and those runs were charged to Chen. Taiwan won Bronze thanks to Tien-Hsin Kuo's walk-off hit.
