2015 Stats (Myrtle Beach Pelicans)

7-7, 3.55 ERA, 22 GS, 119 IP, 5 HR, 87 K

Tseng was signed by the Cubs in July of 2013 during the international signing period. Tseng signed for $1.625 million, fresh off dominating the 2012 18-and-under World Championships.

His first season in pro ball was in 2014 when he demonstrated the best pitch ability in the Cubs’ farm system. Tseng’s fastball comes in at 88-92 mph and peaks at 94.

He is able to locate his fastball on both sides of the plate, but it’s not his best pitch. A tight curveball and an advanced feel for his change-up make up his plus pitches. Tseng needs to build up his strength so he can maintain form throughout the entire year.

Tseng pitched for the Advanced A Pelicans last season and had some good success. He went 7-7 with a 3.55 ERA in 22 starts. He averages about one hit per inning but his 30 walks in 119 innings is a good thing.

Tseng is 21-years-old and only in his second year in pro ball. However, a strong 2016 season could see him crack the majors in late 2017.
