PrintAccording to the AP, the Indians have signed Sung-Wei Tseng. He's 21, and pitched for Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic, the only amateur on their team apparently.
Anyone have any info on him? He pitched against the US team, shutting them down for 5 innings.
Any chance he's got a sure handed brother who plays third base and hits like Manny Ramirez?

John Farrell said he has been clocked at 95 MPH!
John Farrell on the Weekend Update On The Minors show just said that Tseng has been clocked at 95 MPH. He also has some experience playing in the US - he was in the Alaskan Collegiate League last summer. He did pitch for Taiwan in the WBC this past March.
He will start in Instructional League on his first visa, but in Spring Training, he will be a full member of the organization (visa issues all settled, I presume.) He will probably start at High-A Kinston in the bullpen.
His fastball hits 95 MPH and he has a solid to above-average breaking ball.
