CPBL: Chen Sheng-ping wins fourth MVP of September amid Fubon pitching shifts

In the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL), Uni-President Lions infielder Chen Sheng-ping has experienced a significant performance surge, winning four game MVPs in September alone. During a recent matchup against the Fubon Guardians, Chen recorded two hits, including a solo home run, and two RBIs, earning his fifth MVP award since returning to Taiwan.

Chen attributed his improved performance to a shift in mindset, noting that he has learned to play more freely after receiving advice from veteran teammates to avoid overthinking critical situations. His recent success places him fourth all-time in the league for the most MVPs won in a single month.

Meanwhile, Fubon Guardians manager Goto Mitsutaka is adjusting pitching strategies as the regular season nears its conclusion. The team is currently engaged in a critical battle for seasonal ranking. Goto confirmed that certain pitchers, such as Magic Blue, will transition from starting roles to the bullpen to optimize the roster for the final games of the season.
