Career
Wu played in Taiwan with the La New Bears until he moved to Japan after signing with the Chiba Lotte Marines in 2006. He is known for his exceptional control of the ball. Two years after joining the Marines, he had his official pro debut against the Orix Buffaloes on May 5, 2008, pitching 6-1/3 innings while allowing 1 run. Although Wu left the game with a 3-1 lead, the bullpen surrendered five runs and the Buffalos ultimately won 6-3. The Marines chose not to bring Wu back to the team after the 2009 season.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
