What is the impression of Taiwan baseball system/players in the U.S?

I know the pros are investing much more in foreign countries but not sure about college.  I think talent will open eyes regardless of where it comes from.  I would assume that most college coaches are not going to actively recruit foreign players simply because of the time/costs involved but if a foreign player shows an interest in an American school, the coach will probably then pursue if he sees enough to like.  

I wouldn't think there would be a coach who would automatically dismiss foreign players, especially from one of the Asian countries.  The academics and work ethic in those cultures tend to be high which would appeal to any coach.  I think it's more "out of sight, out of mind."

Welcome!

Keep in mind that this is all  about getting an education.

If I am a college coach I am going to offer the opportunity (scholarship dollars to pay for college) to someone who has gone through the american educational system. You can look at any college baseball roster and see that not too many foreign born players are teams, with exceptions to our neighbors to the north.  The exceptions may be given to those players of US parents living abroad, perhaps for the armed forces.  We have a parent who posts here who lives in south Korea who sent their son to play here in the states.  But he did send his son here in summers to be seen by college coaches.

Henshwang;

Do you know the Seattle Mariners scout - Jamie Storvick.

A few years ago he and several players from Taiwan joined our American teams in Australia. One of the Taiwan players has played in the MLB.

We are again sending 4 teams to Australia during December. One of our coaches will be Dave La Roche, former NY Yankees pitcher. Please see our notice on the "Ask about College" forum.

In recent years, players from China, Mexico and DR have joined our American teams.

Several are now playing in the World Cup.

Bob,

His son is 12.

Yes, I know. They can fly to Perth, Western Australia and play with our '13 and under team and meet the 4 Americans, who are now coaching in Perth and the 6 Americans

[former College or Pro players], who are playing on the WA Club teams in November to February. At this time, Henshwang is exploring options and opportunities for his "young" son and himself.
