Taiwan’s baseball team is regrouping after a 5-0 opening loss to South Korea at the Asian Games, but players say their confidence remains intact. Twenty-year-old pitcher Lin Yi-wei pushed back against questions from South Korean media about whether he was out of his depth, saying he is no longer afraid of his opponents and has prepared down to the smallest details. Taiwan will next face Thailand and Hong Kong in Group B as it tries to keep its hopes of advancing in the tournament alive.
