Scouting Report
One of Taiwan's best young high school hitters, Chih-Hsien Chiang is a 19 year old multi-positional fielder who even pitches a bit. Chiang has played at all levels of Taiwan's national teams in international youth and junior aged competitions. Chiang starred as a 2B/OF in the 2003 World Youth Championships (for 13 to 15 year olds), where he led Taiwan to a silver medal, falling only to the US in the championship game. Chiang hit 2 HR's (including a big grand slam against youth powerhouse Cuba) and led the entire tourney in RBI's.
In the abbreviated 2004 World Junior Championships (for 16 to 18 year olds) - as one of the younger kids in the tourney (16 years old) and playing primarily 1B, Chiang held his own and hit .267 in 15 AB's with 3 doubles and 2 RBI's.
He has good speed and quick feet, as well as the ability to toss 88 mph fastballs, which should help with his transition to the short stop position.
