[Reporter Lin Youchen/Report from Taipei] Wei Chuanlong's "local foreigner" Wu Duo, who will turn 40 next month, threw the second pitch against Fubon hitter Wang Nianhao in the fourth inning of the game against the Fubon Titans yesterday. It was the 20,000th pitch he threw in his secondary school career, the most in active service. At the same time, yesterday was also the 200th start in Woodall's career. He became the fifth pitcher in history to throw 20,000 pitches and start 200 games at the same time.
He only set a 100-goal record at the age of 39 at the beginning of the month. When interviewed again before the game, Wu Duo said with a smile that it was "a good thing" to be interviewed repeatedly for career milestones. Talking about scoring 20,000 goals in his mid-career career, Wu Duo said: "Looking back on the journey and completing this milestone yesterday, I think it is not just my personal glory, but the contribution of all the teammates I have worked with and the people around me. I am trying to prove that age has no absolute relationship with ability and strength. I want to show everyone that if everyone can invest, their own opportunities will come, proving that they will not lose to young players."
Which one of the 20,000 goals impressed you the most? Wu Duo said with a smile that he had to give him some time to think about this good question. "The first thing I had to think about was the 20,000th goal yesterday. I would like to thank the Flavor Group for giving me the opportunity. I am very touched at the moment."
Wu Duo said that no player would ever imagine scoring the 20,000th goal in his career. He just loves this sport, devotes himself to every game, and tries his best to dismantle and analyze every detail. He is passionate about this process. As time goes by, he will naturally have the opportunity to challenge career milestones.
