Wei Chuan Dragons win 2026 CPBL Championship
Overview
The Wei Chuan Dragons have secured the 2026 Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) championship, defeating the CTBC Brothers 4 games to 2 in the Taiwan Series. The Dragons clinched the title in Game 6 with a 6-0 shutout victory at the Taipei Dome.
While earlier reports credited Mitch Webb with the Game 6 shutout and the Taiwan Series MVP, subsequent details identify starting pitcher CC Mercedes as the recipient of the MVP award. Mercedes delivered a dominant performance, pitching eight scoreless innings to finish the series with a 0.64 ERA over 14 innings. Chang Cheng-yu was also recognized as the series’ outstanding player.
This victory marks the Dragons’ sixth franchise title and their second since returning to the league in 2021. During the series, the team set a new league record by recording three shutouts.
The championship win was followed by controversy involving comments made by CTBC Brothers chairman Wei Ying-chiao during a celebration. CPBL President Tsai Chi-chang issued a statement expressing disagreement with the remarks, stating they “could negatively impact players and fans.” The Dragons organization has since issued an apology regarding the matter.
