The CPBL Wei Chuan Dragons let the foreign pitcher Aaron Leasher start for the first time this season on the 2nd, but he had 5 walks in a single inning. The general manager of the Dragons, Ye Junzhang, said that Aaron Leasher should not be scheduled to start again in the future; and the hot and humid weather in Taiwan, Zac Lowther's sweaty hands are serious and need to be overcome.

Aaron Leasher joined the Dragons, and in the first 20 games of the season, he was a relief pitcher. On the 2nd, he made his first start of the season against the Taichung Heroes, but only pitched 0.2 innings, giving up 1 hit, 5 walks, and losing 3 runs, resulting in a loss.

Ye Junzhang, the general manager of the Dragons, said before the game today that he let Aaron Leasher start mainly because Zac Lowther's condition was not good. Aaron Leasher also started last season, so he gave him a chance to try. He may have been affected by the rain in terms of control, and in the future, he should not be scheduled to start again. Continuing to be a relief pitcher would be helpful for the team.

When asked about the condition of the foreign pitcher Zac Lowther, Ye Junzhang said that the weather in Taiwan is a challenge. Zac Lowther has a serious problem with his sweaty hands. Before summer, the weather was manageable, but now every time he sees Zac Lowther's hands, they are wet, and the sweat is dripping, even in the Taipei Arena, which is a problem that needs to be overcome.

The Dragons have a second team foreign pitcher named James Conner Greene. However, Ye Junzhang mentioned that James Conner Greene had not pitched for a long time before coming to Taiwan, and his performance in the second team was not very stable. Observing him, he should also be a relief pitcher. Therefore, the priority is still to observe the condition of Zac Lowther.

As for whether they are looking for new foreign pitchers, Ye Junzhang said that if they don't understand the situation very well, it's just an attempt. There is someone who introduced him, but in the situation where they can't fully understand, it doesn't make sense to rush to find a new foreign pitcher.
