[Reporter Lin Youchen/Taipei Report] The Central Vocational School announced the Best Nine and Designated Hitter winners yesterday. At the shortstop position, Wei Quanlong Zhang Zhengyu broke CITIC brother Jiang Kunyu's 5-year winning streak and won the Best Nine shortstop award for the first time in his career.

Zhang Zhengyu self-assessed that his performance has indeed improved compared to previous years, but he hopes to continue to maintain it and bring his performance to next year. "I also told my brother (Zhang Shilun), 'This is good'. It is not easy to maintain the current good results. Of course, there is still room for improvement, but maintenance is also important. I am not a stable player yet, so I just want to improve year by year."

This year, the competition among the teams for the guerrilla position was fierce, and Jiang Kunyu won the best guerilla position. Zhang Zhengyu said: "Akun has always been stable and a very good player, and he did not play poorly this year. Even if he did not win this award, his results were still top-notch. His condition may have been a little worse in the first half of the season, but overall he is better than others. Top marks, if the situation is good, it means tops. This year may be the time for me to win this award, but his performance is still a contender in any year. Maybe I was lucky this year, and he happened to have a bit of a slump in the first half of the season. His performance in the second half of the season was also very good. Maybe that was his bottom mark."

At the beginning of the year, American player Li Haoyu was temporarily forced to leave the Taiwan Classic Classic roster due to injury. Zhang Zhengyu's immediate rescue became a legend. Zhang Zhengyu said: "I watched a lot of good players and told myself that it was not enough. There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. If you haven't been there, you won't know what the outside world is like. Thank you, head coach Zeng Haoju, for giving me the opportunity. After I went out and watched it, I realized that I have a lot to improve on, and I also learned experience."
