"Players living in Taiwan have always been pretty keen to represent their country," says Chinese Taipei head coach Hsu Sheng-ming. "Players who take the top three spots on the team can earn exemption from military service and a substantial award from the central government. In addition to these practical matters, in every stage of training the players are instilled with strong ideas about pursuing honor for their country."
「國內球員代表國家出賽的慾望一向比較高，」執行教練徐生明表示，「拿到奧運前三名可以獲得兵役抵免和高額的國光獎章獎金，除了實質的誘因外，在每一個階段的棒球養成訓練中，選手都被灌輸了強烈的追求國家榮譽的觀念。」
