Chang struggled to live up to the hype generated by his tremendous rookie ball numbers from 2014.
Yu-Cheng Chang was signed out of Taiwan by the Indians in 2013 for $500,000, and came to the U.S. in 2014, spending the season playing for the Tribe's rookie ball team in the Arizona Summer League, where he was the second-best played in the entire league behind only his teammate Bobby Bradley. Chang hit .346/.420/.566 with a low strikeout rate while playing decent defense at shortstop. Those numbers marked him as someone to watch in 2015.
Chang was sent to Single-A Lake County, and with three extra-base hits in the Captains' first three games, it looked like he might be picking up right where he left off.
