About Chin-Lung Hu
Chin-Lung Hu (Chinese: 胡金龍; pinyin: Hú Jīnlóng; born February 2, 1984) is a Taiwanese former professional baseball shortstop. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, and in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the EDA Rhinos/Fubon Guardians and the Uni-President Lions. He was the fifth player — and first infielder — from Taiwan to play in MLB. His last name (along with that of fellow Taiwanese Fu-Te Ni, formerly of the Detroit Tigers) is the shortest in MLB history. On September 25, Hu hit a two-run homer against the Colorado Rockies' starting pitcher Ubaldo Jiménez and became the first Taiwanese-born player to hit two home runs. On September 11, 2016, Hu hit two home runs as part of a CPBL record eight home runs hit by the Rhinos. Hu and the Rhinos won the 2016 Taiwan Series, before the team changed its name to the Fubon Guardians the next season.
