Career

edit

Wu played in Taiwan with the La New Bears until he moved to Japan after signing with the Chiba Lotte Marines in 2006. He is known for his exceptional control of the ball. Two years after joining the Marines, he had his official pro debut against the Orix Buffaloes on May 5, 2008, pitching 6-1/3 innings while allowing 1 run. Although Wu left the game with a 3–1 lead, the bullpen surrendered five runs and the Buffalos ultimately won 6–3. The Marines chose not to bring Wu back to the team after the 2009 season.[2]
