[1] He was 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA for Taiwan in the 2018 Haarlem Baseball Week, losing the finale to Japan despite one run (unearned) in three innings. His two pick-offs tied for the event lead. [2] In the 2018 Asian Games, he made two appearances. Against Indonesia, he started in a 15-0 win in which Taiwan changed pitchers each inning. He walked Diva Reza Fabil but then struck out three straight (Rizki Ramadan, Hakeem Rahniady Putra Ady and Adi Susanto). Bo-Hao Chen took over in the 2nd.

Shohei Morishita grounded out but Ryo Kinami singled in the game's last run before Lin recovered to get Sho Aoyagi swinging. Bo-Hao Chen again relieved him.
