The Athletics have promoted their No. 4 prospect, Lin Wei-en (林維恩), to Triple-A, making the 20-year-old the youngest Taiwanese player to reach that level.
The Athletics assigned the left-hander to the Las Vegas Aviators, one day after he was named the Texas League's Pitcher of the Month for May.
Lin began his professional career last year ... and advanced from Low-A to High-A and then Double-A in a single season.
So far this year, Lin has gone 3-1 with 53 strikeouts and a 1.93 earned run average in 10 appearances on the mound.
Lin becomes the third Taiwanese pitcher currently playing in Triple-A, joining Athletics prospect Zhuang Chen Zhong-ao (莊陳仲敖) and Diamondbacks prospect Lin Yu-min.
