Tseng starred for Taiwan at the 18-and-under World Championships in the fall
of 2012, but scouts grew concerned when his stuff and delivery regressed at
the World Baseball Classic the next spring. The Cubs still signed him for
$1,625,000 during their 2013 international spending spree that included two
of baseball's best prospects, since-traded Eloy Jimenez and Gleyber Torres.
He bounced back from the worst year of his career in 2016 to earn Chicago's
Minor League pitcher of the year award in 2017, ranking second in the system
in victories (13), ERA (2.54) and strikeouts (122) before making his big
league debut in September.
Tseng's best pitch is his changeup, a plus offering at times that keeps
hitters from teeing off on his fastball. His heater dropped into the upper
80s in 2015-16 before returning to 90-94 mph last year, and its life is as
ordinary as his velocity. His tight curveball gives him a second solid pitch
and he added a decent cutter as a fourth option in 2017.
As a fly-ball pitcher with less-than-overpowering stuff, Tseng has little
margin for error. He succeeds by attacking hitters while keeping his pitches
on the corners and down in the strike zone. He doesn't have a high ceiling
but provides back-of-the-rotation depth for the Cubs.
[大致翻譯]
第一段提到:
小熊在2013年用1.625M鎂簽下,僅次於E.Jimenez和G.Torres (皆因交易離隊)
曾仁和在2016年有著職業生涯最差的表現 (6W-8L ERA:4.29 AVG:.308)
但是2017年在小聯盟總共拿下 13勝 ERA:2.54 122K(145.1IP)
獲選2017小熊農場最佳投手
也因此他在2017年九月獲得在MLB的初登板
第二段則提到:
曾仁和最好的武器是變速球(Plus)
讓對手不會過度鎖定他的直球作攻擊
他的快速球在2015-16年掉到up-80s, 但是在17年回溫到90-94mph的水平
曾的曲球是他第二個有力的球種
而他去年也練了卡特球作為他的第四球種
第三段則提到:
曾仁和是個飛球型投手, stuff也不突出, 因此他的容錯率很低
然而曾能將他的投球控制在好球帶的角落, 也能將球路壓低
他的天花板不高, 預期會是一個後段先發 (4-5號)

[備註]
小熊農場總排名 Pitcher 第七
RHP 第六
不過曾仁和是農場裡完成度最高的投手
小聯盟生涯 K/BB:3.16, AVG:.251, WHIP:1.18, 滾飛比:1.00
整體來說其實不會太差
