U15 Asian Baseball Championship – Taiwan Shuts Out Japan for Back-to-Back Titles

The 12th U15 Asian Baseball Championship game was held on the 23rd in Tainan, with Team Taiwan facing Team Japan. In the end, under the dominance of starting pitcher Ke Shao-Chieh, Team Taiwan shut out Japan 3–0, claiming the 8th championship title in team history and successfully defending their crown with back-to-back wins.

In the preliminary round, South Korea defeated host Taiwan 5–3 in Group A, while Japan went undefeated in Group B. Both advanced to the Super Round with a 1–0 record, putting Taiwan in danger of losing its qualification for the World Cup. Thus, the matchup against Japan in the Super Round became a do-or-die battle. Taiwan fought with everything it had, and with stronger offensive momentum, edged past Japan 10–7 to stay alive. Thanks to a better Team Quality Balance (TQB), Taiwan advanced to the gold medal game for a rematch against Japan.
