以規則五選秀參加大聯盟春訓的我國投手王維中，將以後援投手身份進入開季25人名單，也創下從新人聯盟直升大聯盟的棒壇新紀錄。
左投王維中確定將成為台灣第十一位登上大聯盟的球員。
昨天釀酒人下放了兩人之後，只留了25名球員，使開季人數恰好足夠。根據美國媒體報導，在和巨人隊的比賽之前，王維中就得知，他會留在釀酒人25人名單中的消息。
他除了成為大聯盟史上，首位透過規則五選秀，從新人聯盟直升大聯盟的球員之外，也以21歲年紀，成為台灣史上年紀最輕的大聯盟球員，他的薪水也變成50萬美金的大聯盟基本年薪。
王維中今天九局登板面對到巨人，一連被敲出四支安打，最後一局失三分，吞下春訓首敗。
The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to soon make Wang Wei-chung the first player ever to jump directly from rookie ball to the major leagues. Following a series of moves on Tuesday, Milwaukee cut its team to 25 healthy players, and Wang was still in the mix.
Left-handed pitcher Wang Wei-chung is expected to become the 11th Taiwanese baseball player to play in the major leagues.
On Tuesday the Brewers optioned two players to the minor leagues, leaving just enough players to fill the 25-man opening day roster. According to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, before playing the San Francisco Giants, Wang was told that he made the team.
Wang will become the first player ever to play in the major leagues directly from rookie ball. At 21 years old, he will also be Taiwan’s youngest player to play in the major leagues. His annual salary will jump to the league minimum of US$500,000 a year.
After getting the good news, Wang pitched against the Giants in the ninth inning. He struggled, giving up four consecutive hits and three runs, and was charged with his first loss of spring training.
