Meet the newest Blue Jay. His name is Chi-Hung Cheng, he's an 18-year-old pitcher from Taiwan who signed yesterday for a $400,000 bonus. He's good enough to have pitched against men - not boys - in the recent World Cup tournament for the fourth-place Taiwanese national team.

Cheng has what J.P. describes as a "plus breaking pitch", throws a change with "nice feel", and can bring it at 85-88, not bad velocity for an 18-year-old. J.P. expects him to start at Charleston.
