“But with regards to Taiwanese players, it’s an excellent baseball country. …
We’ve been so active in Latin America, and that’s still obviously our number
one focus, but we always have been trying to expand.”
酒鬼的球探暨國際球員發展部門特助Taylor Green表示
他們在國際市場上積極的拓展拉丁美洲
但現在也開始把觸角擴來台灣了

To that end, several years ago, the Brewers hired a scout in Taiwan, Josh Batema
n, who has made offers over the years. A Milwaukee-based international scout, Zo
rian Schiffman, was also intricately involved in the background work that led to
the club signing Tzu-Chun and Liao.
幾年前也雇用了註台球探Josh Bateman
而這次簽下林張子俊、廖宥霖
另一位國際球探Zorian Schiffman也有參與調查

The Brewers’ new Dominican academy, which opened in January 2024 after a years-
long development project led by former assistant GM Gord Ash, played a significa
nt role in the club’s successful pursuit of Tzu-Chun and Liao, according to Gre
en, because the players knew they would begin their careers at a first-class fac
ility. They have already begun English language classes and leadership classes a
longside the other players living there.
Green透露酒鬼去年在多明尼加新蓋好的訓練基地
是他們成功簽下這兩位球員的關鍵
因為知道他們將會在一流的設施中展開職業生涯
The players signed last week in Arizona and then traveled to the club’s complex
in the Dominican Republic to await work visas and the standard age verification
check. There is less urgency for Liao, who is rehabbing a knee injury and expec
ted to be ready to play by the fall.
他們上週在亞利桑那簽約，然後目前已前往酒鬼的多明尼加基地了
在那等待工作簽證以及年齡確認
Bateman, the Brewers’ scout, is staying with them in the Dominican Republic to
provide translation when necessary, but Green witnessed that process beginning o
rganically once the players met their new Latin American teammates, thanks in pa
rt to the power of smartphones and translation apps.
“We already noticed that our players, they gravitate towards these guys,” Gree
n said. “They’ll learn some Mandarin, and there’s a chance these [newly signe
d] guys will learn Spanish just as fast as they learn English. It’s quite an in
teresting dynamic.”
註台球探Bateman也待在那擔任他們的翻譯
只不過在現在有智慧型手機、翻譯APP的情況下
雙方其實也很自然的開始互動
「我們已經注意到，我們的球員們會自然而然地靠近這些新隊友」
「他們會學一些中文，而這些（新簽下的）球員也有可能學西班牙語的速度跟學英文一樣快
。這是一種非常有趣的互動關係」
酒鬼去年落成，耗資2000萬鎂的多明尼家基地
