“Chen-Chang Lee has had a great deal of experience and success pitching at the highest level of international competition," said John Mirabelli, the Indians' assistant general manager in charge of scouting operations. “That experience and success make him a very attractive prospect for us and we feel he has a great deal of upside. We are very familiar with Chen-Chang as we have scouted him since he was a 16-year old high school pitcher in Pingtung County, Taiwan before he opted to attend college.”
The sidearmer's fastball has been timed at 93.8 mph. He also throws a forkball, changeup, curveball and slider.
