Signed by Tucson "Righthander Sung-Wei Tseng
is one of the most talented arms to come out of
Taiwan in recent years, serving as the ace of
Chinese Tapai National Team and representing Taiwan
in the World Cup in 2005 and the World Baseball
Classic in 2006. The Cleveland Indians signed him
in 2006 after Baseball America named him the 4th
best prospect in the Alaskan Summer League, a
premier league for college level talent. Tseng,
just 25-years old, spent parts of three seasons in
the Indians organization striking out 157 in 216 2/3
innings."

Minor League Insider : Sung-Wei Tseng
The Indians signed Tseng out of Taiwan in
July of 2006 after he went 7-0 with a 0.36 ERA for the National Taiwan
College of Physical Education. He pitched 73.2 innings and only allowed
3 earned runs and 29 hits, and walked only 8 batters but striking out
73. Shortly after signing Tseng, Indians Scouting Director John
Mirabelli commented that had Tseng been in the 2006 Draft, he would have
been taken late in the second round and that he physically resembles
major league pitcher Tom Gordon.
Strengths &
Opportunities: Tseng has a compact build with above average
velocity and good movement on his fastball which consistently site in
the 91-94 MPH range. Tseng throws five pitches, but his best pitch is a
nasty split-fingered fastball which bottoms out well and is considered a
swing-and-miss pitch at the major league level. Tseng is a very refined
pitcher, and he also has very good control. He is also not afraid to
come inside on hitters, and has very clean arm action on his fastball.
Not only has he been a student of the game on the field, but off it he
has been learning English since he came into the organization.
