Lin Chung-chiu

Lin Chung-chiu (Chinese: 林仲秋; pinyin: Lín Zhòngqiū; born 23 September 1958 in Fengyuan City, Taichung County (now part of Taichung City), Taiwan) is a retired Taiwanese professional baseball player(position: first baseman, outfielder or designated hitter) and currently a baseball coach.

During the 1980s Lin spent most of his amateur career in Japan and attended the 1988 Olympics for the Chinese Taipei national baseball team.

After Professional baseball in Taiwan's debut in 1990, Lin left Japan to join CPBL's Mercuries Tigers in July 1990 and stayed with the team until its collapse in November 1999.

Despite his relative short figure, Lin is well known for his excellent batting skills and led the CPBL in home runs in the 1991, 1992, 2000 and 2001 seasons, at the age of 43.

Throughout his Professional Baseball in Taiwan career he hit 162 home runs, which was only surpassed by Chang Tai-Shan and Hsieh Chia-hsien as of 2008.
