Liu Chih-jung
Taiwanese baseball pitcher
Liu Chih-jung (Chinese: 劉致榮; born April 7, 1999) is a Taiwanese professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent.
Liu was a shortstop and pitcher in high school. Due to a heavy pitching load in high school, his coaches at Chinese Culture University utilized his skills solely as a position player during his first season of collegiate baseball. He returned to pitching in 2019.
Professional career
Liu signed with the Boston Red Sox as a pitcher on October 23, 2019, for US$750,000. Liu arrived in the United States for spring training with the Red Sox in February 2020. After the 2020 minor league season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Liu was invited to participate in the Red Sox' fall instructional league. Liu began the 2021 season in extended spring training, was first assigned to the Florida Complex League Red Sox where he made a single start, and was then promoted to the Salem Red Sox in early July. Overall during the 2021 season, he compiled a 4.23 earned run average (ERA) and 5–1 win–loss record in 13 starts while striking out 60 batters in 55+1⁄3 innings pitched.
Liu began the 2022 season in High-A with the Greenville Drive.

Why this record matters
The phrase “taiwanese baseball pitcher” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q78117470. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
