PHOENIX -- Instead of pitching for his country, Wei-Chung Wang has been in the Brewers' Minor League Spring Training camp trying to continue the momentum he began last season.
Wang, the left-hander who spent 2014 in the Major Leagues as a Rule 5 Draft pick, had been listed on the Chinese Taipei roster for the World Baseball Classic. But he declined the offer, and reported to the Brewers' Minor League minicamp at Maryvale Baseball Park last month.
"I want to get another chance to go to the big leagues, and I have a few things I need to work on," Wang said through translator Sandy Guerrero, the Double-A Biloxi hitting coach who picked up Mandarin while playing professionally in Asia.
