Taiwan risked its life and death in the 3rd Premier 12 tournament more than anyone else. A certain carrot book was waiting. A bundle of money is waiting in front of the Taiwanese baseball team.
Taiwan beat Japan 4-0 in the final of the 2024 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 held at Tokyo Dome in Japan on Sunday. Taiwan was thrilled to win major international competitions such as the Olympics, the World Baseball Classic, and the Premier 12 for the first time.
In addition, since Taiwan is a "Samurai Japan" that has continued since the 2019 Premier 12 tournament, Boli stopped Japan from winning 28 consecutive international competitions. The last time Taiwan defeated Japan in an adult-level national team was at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Taiwan caused a great upset by defeating Japan for the first time in 32 years.
Taiwan kept the Tokyo Dome, known as the holy site of Japanese baseball, quiet like a library. Taiwan had ranked second after losing ground to Japan in both the opening and super rounds. However, Taiwan overwhelmed both pitching and hitting after three times.
Taiwan really put its all into the finals. It hurriedly changed its starting pitcher ahead of the final Super Round match against Japan on Sunday. As the U.S. won the match against the U.S. and Venezuela 6-5, the team has confirmed its advance to the finals regardless of the result of the match against Japan. Then, it replaced left-hander Lin Yu-min, who was expected to be the starting pitcher, with Chen Bo-ching. In order to use Lin Yu-min in the finals, the team risked both 2,000 U.S. dollars, which is a violation of regulations, and criticism.
The Japanese team expressed displeasure. "We deeply apologize to the Japanese team for changing the starting pitcher in a hurry. We wanted to save a good pitcher for tomorrow's final," Taiwanese coach Tsang Hao-ju said in an interview after the game. "We made this decision to play the final in the best condition. We had not decided our advance to the final until yesterday. We explained it to the Japanese coach and replaced it, but we put the opponent in a difficult position." Japanese national team coach Hirokazu Ibata requested Taiwan to list a left-hander like Lin Yu-min as the starting pitcher, and the situation ended when Taiwan accepted and placed Chen Bo-ching, a left-hander.
In the end, Taiwan met Japan in the best team condition in the final. Starter Lin Yu-min pitched one hit, two walks and three strikeouts in the inning and went down the mound. Jang Yi then gave two hits and three strikeouts in three innings, Chen Kwan-wi took charge of his waist with one scoreless inning, and Lin Kai-wei blocked Japan with one scoreless inning in the ninth inning.
In addition, the batters did not miss a single opportunity that they had in the fifth inning. Lin Ja-jeong, the leadoff hitter in the fifth inning, hit a solo shot against Woo Jung-wol, and Chen Jiehsuen, who had been hitting hard throughout the tournament, hit a three-run homer to knock out Japan.
Shortly after Taiwan won the Premier 12, President Lei Ching-deh sent a congratulatory message to the national team. In addition, a grand return ceremony will be held for the heroes. According to Taiwanese media outlet Mirror Media, Lei Ching-deh asked the Taiwanese team to be fully prepared to greet the heroes. The Ministry of National Defense said that the Taiwanese national team will send an F-16 fighter jet to escort the plane home, and after returning to Taiwan, Lei Ching-deh will participate in the welcoming reception on the 26th and hold a championship parade.
On top of that, an all-time bonus party awaits. According to local media including "Freedom Times," the Taiwanese national team will receive 1.5 million U.S. dollars in prize money prepared by the WBSC. On top of that, according to regulations of the Taiwan Education Ministry's Sports Administration, each individual will receive 7 million dollars. A total of 28 players will receive a total of 196 million dollars. Currently, CTBA Chairman Koo Weang has bet 10 million dollars on winning the opening round and 30 million dollars on winning the championship. He will receive 40 million dollars on winning the opening round and 30 million dollars on winning the championship. 안전놀이터
