Biographical Information[edit]
Ting-Ying Wang has pitched in the CPBL and for the Taiwanese national team.
Wang played for Taiwan in the 2011 World Youth Championship. [1] He was 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA in the 2015 World Port Tournament, losing to Cuba. [2] The Uni-President Lions took him in the 4th round of the 2016 CPBL Draft. He was 0-1 with a 6.08 ERA and 2.18 WHIP in 10 games in 2016. In 2017, he was 1-0 with a 3.79 ERA in 20 games. [3]
The Taitung native then appeared for Taiwan in the 2018 Asian Games, pitching two shutout innings (1 H, 1 BB, 2 K). One of his innings came in the Bronze Medal Game. Relieving Tsung-Hao Wang in the 7th with a one-hitter in progress and a 9-0 lead over China, he gave up a hit to Fujia Chu and a walk to Shunyi Yang but escaped unscathed then Bo-Hao Chen took over in the 8th. [4]
Wang struggled in 2019 as his ERA was 8.14 in 14 games, and he only pitched 3 games in 2020. The Wei Chuan Dragons selected Wang in the expansion draft, and he had a 5.00 ERA in 43 games in 2021. Wang broke out in 2022, having a 3.28 ERA in 47 games while collecting 13 holds. He was 5th in holds, 13 behind Yu-Hsun Chen. However, Wang suffered from a left elbow injury, so he only pitched 4 games in 2023. He then underwent Tommy John surgery.
His repertoire includes a fastball (peak 94 mph), slider and changeup. [5]
