Jackie Robinson Day Today, MLB is in full bloom. According to statistics, there are 269 international players on the rosters of major league teams this season, and Zhang Yucheng is currently the only player from Taiwan. The excellent performance of WBC made Taiwanese fans know Zhang Yucheng again, and they also pay more attention to his performance in the major leagues this season. However, he fell into a big slump at the beginning of the season. Not only the fans and critics in Taiwan, but I believe he himself should feel the same. Be anxious, after all, in the major leagues, there are players behind at any time. In the WBC, Zhang Yucheng, who had a hot batting experience, fell into the trough of the hit drought period. Zhang Yucheng, who played against the Angels on 4/15 US time, still gained the trust of the coaching staff and served as the starting ninth shortstop. Although he hit a ground out in the first bat and went 19 consecutive bats with 17 hits without a hit, but in the second half of the fourth inning, he faced the starting pitcher Tyler Anderson with a man on the second base, and the outside corner was low. The 88.9mph fastball hit a two-run RBI comeback home run that flew over the green monster in the left field. The first hit was the first home run, which not only ended the low tide of consecutive no-hitters, but also helped the team lead 5:4.

But in the second half of the eighth inning, when the bases were loaded with an out, Zhang Yucheng faced a missed sinker from Ryan Tepera of the Angels bullpen, and hit a left field single that crossed the three-way defense line, returning two. Runner, once again helped the team lead by 8:7. In the end, the Red Sox defeated the Angels 9:7, and Zhang Yucheng also became the winning RBI of the game.
