Shao-Ching Chiang
Lands with Guardians
Chiang agreed Thursday with the Guardians on a development contract, CPBLStats.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old right-hander is available for the CPBL's upcoming draft, but the Guardians have already informed him that he'll be their selection with the No. 1 overall pick. According to CPBLStats.com, the Guardians will reportedly give Chiang the largest contract in CPBL history, so the right-hander is presumably being counted on to fill a key spot in the rotation. Chiang's most recent professional action came in MLB with the Cleveland organization in 2019, when he posted a 5.15 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 128 strikeouts over 131 innings in 26 starts with Triple-A Columbus.
