He previously played for the Lamigo Monkeys of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) from 2015 through 2018 and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.

Career[edit]

Lamigo Monkeys[edit]

During his rookie season with the Lamigo Monkeys of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) in 2016, Wang broke a number of league records. Among them, he became the first player to record 200 hits in the league and finished with a .414 batting average. In 2017, he batted .407 and led the CPBL with 31 home runs. He is one of the greatest Taiwanese hitting talents ever.[citation needed] On September 3, 2016, Wang became fastest CPBL player (122 games) to reach 200 career hits. On October 10, 2016, he became first CPBL player to record 200 hits in a single season, breaking Wilton Veras' prior record of 176 set in 2009. He finished the year with an unprecedented .414 batting average.[3]

On October 17, 2018, Lamigo announced it intended to post Wang after the Taiwan Series, on November 4. This made Wang the first player to be posted in league history.[4] On November 20, The Lamigo Monkeys accepted the posting fee from the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters,[5] which gave the Fighters the rights to negotiate to Wang for the next 30 days.[6]

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters[edit]

On December 7, 2018, Wang Po-jung signed with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters,[7][8] agreeing to a three-year contract.[9]

TSG Hawks[edit]

On August 10, 2023, Wang's CPBL rights were traded to the TSG Hawks alongside Wang Wei-chun, Wang Yi-cheng, and Lan Yin-lun in exchange for Tzu-Wei Lin.[10] On December 13, Wang agreed to a three–year, $1.2 million contract with the Hawks.[11]

International career[edit]

He was selected for the Chinese Taipei national baseball team at the 2014 U-21 Baseball World Cup, 2014 Asian Games, 2015 Summer Universiade, 2015 WBSC Premier12, 2017 Asia Professional Baseball Championship, 2019 WBSC Premier12, and 2023 World Baseball Classic.

He was also selected as a member of a CPBL All-Stars team for a 2017 exhibition game against the Japan. Playing on February 28, 2017, Wang hit a two-run home run against Nippon Professional Baseball strikeout champ Takahiro Norimoto as part of a 3-for-3, three RBI effort.[12] The next day he had a base hit in two at-bats against Yomiuri Giants ace Tomoyuki Sugano.[13]
