Career
[edit | edit source]He originally drafted by the Wei Chuan Dragons in 1996, he has played for the Sinon Bulls and Uni-President Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. A well-known slugger, Chang has been a frequent member of the Chinese Taipei national baseball team since 1998 and holds the record of hitting the most home runs in CPBL history with 289. He also holds the career record for hits with 2,134.
He was missing from the Olympic Games as because he tested positive for a banned substance. Chang denies taking any banned drugs and thinks it may be because of medication he took. As a result of the test he may be banned for 3 years.[1]
He was traded from Sinon Bulls to Uni-Lions for cash considerations of NT$2.5 Million (about US$85,000).[2] His contract with the Lions expired after the 2015 CPBL season and he signed with the Tokushima Indigo Socks of the independent Shikoku Island League in Japan for 2016.[3]
Chang signed on to play in the Australian Baseball League for the 2017-18 season with the Adelaide Bite.[4]
