During the inaugural season, as soon as the Elephants fans found themselves
out of contention during the second-half season, their attention shifted to
the heated competition for batting title between Wang and Mathis Huff of the
Weichuan Dragons. With Huff leading Wang by just four points with less than a
week left in the season, the Dragons sit Huff to protect his lead. Wang,
injured then, was forced to play, and came from behind to take the 2-point
lead with one game each left for the season. On the final day of the season
Wang again started and went 2 for 3, while Huff went 0 for 3 in the final
game of the season. Wang became the historical first batting title winner of
the CPBL, and Huff not only lost the batting title but also sat second on
home runs and RBI.
