According to the Central News Agency, the Wei Chuan Dragons are enjoying a strong first half in the CPBL season. Manager Yeh Jun-zhang stated that the key difference lies in a shift in mindset and increased self-confidence, which has led to better results. The Dragons currently hold a 26-13 record after 39 games and are on an 8-game winning streak, sitting in first place. Regarding the departure of ace pitcher Hsu Jo-hsi to the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, Yeh noted that when someone leaves, others see an opportunity to step up, which has positively impacted the growth of the pitching staff. Although the team's preseason performance was lackluster, Yeh explained that players were successfully executing the technical strategies required by the coaching staff. He also credited pitching coach Jaime Navarro for effectively evaluating and assigning roles based on individual player capabilities.
