[Reporter Luo Zhipeng/Taichung Report] After the end of the World Baseball Classic, Wu Zheyuan, the CITIC brother, made his debut today. He lost 1 run in 4.2 innings against Lotte Taoyuan and won the game. He led the team to a 3:2 victory. The fastest ball speed is only 142 kilometers.

Brothers head coach Lin Weizhu said after today's game that Wu Zheyuan's condition looks okay this time, and he probably hasn't reached his best state last year, and the ball speed is not very fast. Wu Zheyuan should feel this and adjust it.

As for whether Wu Zheyuan will have the opportunity to play again in the public warm-up game and serve as the starting pitcher for the league's opening game on April 1, the assistant only said that it is still uncertain next week. It depends on Wu Zheyuan's state tomorrow, and the opening game has not yet been decided. It is possible for everyone to fight the starting pitcher. It is confirmed that Wu Zheyuan will be a member of the starting rotation in the opening season.

Wu Zheyuan said that it has been a long time since he has been on the board to start. Now he has adjusted the rhythm to the starting mode. The main reason is to get familiar with the feeling of the game and slowly increase the number of goals. After all, it is just the beginning.

When asked if he was worried that playing the classic game would affect the season adjustment, Wu Zheyuan said, "Everyone said it would affect it. It depends on how you adjust the whole season. I know my physical condition best."
