Pan Wu-Hsiun

Pan Wu-hsiung (; born 11 March 1981) is a Taiwanese former baseball player for the Uni-President Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL). He currently plays as an outfielder for the Lions, and has been constantly shifted between all three outfield positions. His nickname "Take" (pronounced TA-KEH) derives from the Japanese pronunciation of the first character of his given name.

Early life As a native to Pingtung, Taiwan, "Take" began formal baseball training in fifth grade in his hometown elementary school, as many other Taiwanese baseball players had. He was invited to attend the famed Meiho Middle School and Meiho High School , a secondary school system which has a long history in the development of baseball. He played on the baseball team during his six years in Meiho, playing in the outfield. He stated in an interview that he originally asked to become a pitcher, but was refused by the coach who instead given him a position in the outfield. He played only 14 games with 40 at-bets in 2006 before injury ended his season. As a result of the limited game time in 2006, he was eligible for the Rookie of the Year award in 2007, which he won. He was able to recover before the playoffs, and subsequently hit his first career home run in the game against the Sinon Bulls on October 21. His first home run in regular season came on April 10, 2007 from Macoto Cobras.

Between June 22 and July 5, 2008, Pan hit home runs in six consecutive games.
