Tung-Hua Yueh has played in the CPBL and for the Taiwanese national team. His brother Cheng-Hua Yueh was Taiwan Series MVP in 2022 and his brother Shao-Hua Yueh has played in the CPBL.

Tung-Hua Yueh appeared in the Asia Winter League in 2015, played for Taiwan in the 2016 Haarlem Baseball Week and was back in the Asia Winter League in '16. He was a first-round pick of the Chinatrust Brothers in the 2017 CPBL Draft. He was 0 for 1 in the 2017 CPBL. He hit .331/.406/.485 in the Taiwanese minors in '18 and batted .145/.200/.145 in 24 games for the big club, fielding .934, with action at 2B, SS, 3B and CF. He got his first CPBL hit off Yi-Cheng Wang.

Making big strides in 2019, he produced at a .305/.358/.488 clip. Playing all over the field again (24 games in the outfield, 18 at 2B, 13 at SS and 10 at 3B), he fielded .986. Yueh was 3-for-17 in the 2019 Taiwan Series, and the Brothers lost to the Lamigo Monkeys in 5 games. He then made the Taiwanese squad for the 2019 Premier 12. He went 1 for 10 with 3 walks and 3 runs, handling 10 chances error-free; he backed up Sheng-Wei Wang at short. His lone hit came off Japan's Taisuke Yamaoka.

Yueh hit .291/.355/.405 in 2020, and he recorded a .160/.185/.320 batting line in the 2020 Taiwan Series as the Brothers were beaten by the Uni-President Lions. He underwent right ankle surgery, so he missed the first half of the 2021 season. He played 71 games with a .210/.276/.276 batting line that year. In the 2021 Taiwan Series, Yueh hit .364/.500/.636 and he won his first Taiwan Series title as the Brothers swept the Lions. He also homered off Tim Melville in Game 2, and he and his brother Cheng-Hua Yueh became the first brothers to go deep in the same contest in the Taiwan Series.

Yueh hit .417/.533/.417 in the 2022 Taiwan Series, and the Brothers won the title again as they swept the Rakuten Monkeys. Yueh had a severe ankle injury on July 23, 2023, so he only played 82 games with a .223/.339/.299 batting line in 2023.
