Tseng, 18, is a known commodity in the international baseball world and was
being pursued by several teams, including the Twins. The teenager is known
for his upright, quick delivery and a fastball that can reach 95 mph. Poised
and aggressive, Tseng also throws a curveball and slider.
He also has a history on the big stage.
A member of the 2012 World Junior Championship team, Tseng also played in the
2012 Asian Baseball Championship for Chinese Taipei. He was the youngest
player named to the Chinese Taipei World Baseball Classic roster.
So far, the Cubs have committed $3,470,000 of their $5,520,300 bonus pool to
four players: shortstop Gleyber Torres, the top player from Venezuela and
third-ranked international prospect, for $1.7 million; and Colombia
right-handed pitcher Erling Moreno, ranked No. 17, for $650,000. The club
also signed right-handed pitcher Jefferson Mejia for $850,000 and added
catching prospect Johan Matos for $270,000.
The Cubs have a $2.8 million agreement in place with outfield prospect Eloy
Jimenez, ranked No. 1, which puts them $749,700
