Hsiao I-chieh (Chinese: 蕭一傑; pinyin: Xiāo Yījié; born January 2, 1986), also known as Ikketsu Shoh,[1] is a Taiwanese former professional baseball pitcher who played in the NPB and CPBL.
Early life
Hsiao was born into a baseball family that spans three generations.[2] Fascinated with the Kōshien tournaments and encouraged to study abroad by his father,[3] Hsiao decided to leave Kao-Yuan Vocational High School of Technology & Commerce [zh] after six months, and transferred to Nichinan Gakuen Junior and Senior High School [ja] in 2002.[4] He entered Nara Sangyo University, whose baseball club is an affiliate of Kinki University in the Kansai Big Six Baseball League, and Hsiao became a high NPB draft prospect for allowing no runs in 34 innings during his senior year.[3][5]
Professional career
Hanshin Tigers
Hsiao was drafted in the first round of the 2008 NPB draft [ja] by the Hanshin Tigers, who missed out on Keijiro Matsumoto and Hiromichi Fujiwara [ja], and signed a tentative contract for ¥90 million yen on December 8, 2008.[6] He was an eligible candidate for the Chinese Taipei national baseball team in the 2009 World Baseball Classic, but Australian team candidate Grant Karlsen threw a ball that injured Hsiao's right arm in a practice match,[7] ultimately forcing Hsiao to decline the offer.[8]
After failing to remain on the Hanshin Tigers first squad, Hsiao was released on October 2, 2012.[9]
Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks
At the request of Taiwanese pitching coach Kuo Tai-yuan, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks acquired Hsiao as a developmental player on November 22, 2012.[10] Hsiao was released on October 26, 2013.[11]
EDA Rhinos/Fubon Guardians
Hsiao was drafted in the third round of the 2013 CBPL rookie draft by the EDA Rhinos, signing a 3-year multi-year contract on January 10, 2014.[12] Immediately after the Fubon Guardians released him, Hsiao decided to end his decade-long professional career and retired on December 5, 2018.[13]
After retirement
Following his retirement, Hsiao became Wang Po-jung's personal interpreter for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters for the 2019 season.[14] He left the position after his wife gave birth to a newborn, deciding to return to Taiwan in order to stay close with his family.[15]
In 2020, Hsiao was hired a second squad pitching coach for the revived Wei Chuan Dragons.[16]
