Taiwan's Wang Yancheng records 10 wins, ties KBO lead

Taiwanese left‑hander Wang Yancheng, 25, earned his 10th victory of the season for the Hanwha Eagles in the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO), tying league leader LG Twins' Ren Sang‑kyu for most wins. The win came against the Samsung Lions, where Wang threw six scoreless innings, recorded seven strike‑outs and delivered 106 pitches, lowering his ERA to 3.34. Signed for a $100,000 salary under the KBO’s new Asian foreign‑player quota, he became the first Asian import to reach double‑digit wins since the policy’s introduction, highlighting his efficiency and value as the league’s top Asian foreign pitcher.

His performance also helped the Eagles snap a three‑game losing streak, and Wang emphasized that the milestone is “just a number” and that he will continue to prepare for upcoming games.
