  • Per the 2017 community write-ups: signed with the Boston Red Sox in 2012 for a $2.05M bonus (largest for a Taiwanese-born position player); called up to the majors in 2017 as a utility player; holds the record for most hits by a Taiwanese player in MLB and is the second Taiwanese player to win a World Series ring (after Chien-Ming Wang, 2009).

  • Youth career: first place at the 2010 Junior League World Series and 2010 World Junior Baseball Championship (MVP, 打點王, 得分王, 最佳防守 in the World Youth League Championships, 2010). HOLD: conflict in the 2010 award wording — TAH profile lists MVP/打點王/得分王/最佳防守 for the World Youth League Championships; the 2017 community article cites the Junior League World Series and World Junior Baseball Championship titles instead. Both kept, not merged.

  • Corpus re-check 2026-09-26 (slice 09251400-16): SKIP — grep 林子偉|Tzu-Wei Lin still hits only the own TAH #1750 mirror, the works index, and the already-absorbed taiwan-zhiguang roundup; no new community material.
