Central News Agency (CNA reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, Taipei, May 17) — 19-year-old pitcher Su Lan-Horng, who joined the San Diego Padres organization, made his Rookie League debut as a starter today, pitching 2 scoreless innings with 4 strikeouts, earning a no-decision. Meanwhile, 18-year-old infielder Liao You-Lin of the Milwaukee Brewers organization recorded his first career hit in his 5th Rookie League game. Su, a member of last year's U18 Baseball World Cup team, caught attention with his performance on the world stage and signed with the Padres last October to begin his overseas career. He started his journey in the Rookie League today, making his professional debut against the Cleveland Guardians. In the bottom of the 1st inning, Su struck out the first batter he faced, then gave up a double, followed by two consecutive walks. However, he quickly regained his composure, striking out the next two batters to end the threat. In the bottom of the 2nd, Su induced a fly out to shortstop, a fly out to center field, and a strikeout, finishing his two innings of work. In total, Su pitched 2 innings, giving up 1 hit, striking out 4, and walking 2, with no runs allowed. His team went on to win 9-2, with Su not factoring in the decision. In a game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds in the Rookie League, Taiwanese infielder Liao You-Lin started at third base, batting 8th. Liao singled to right field in the bottom of the 2nd inning and lined out to left field in the 4th. He struck out in the 6th. Today, Liao went 1-for-3, getting his first career hit in his 5th Rookie League game. His team ultimately lost 3-7. (Editor: Kuan Chung-wei) 1150517
