Henry Sosa, who pitched for the Dodgers in Triple-A Albuquerque during the 2013 season, started a bench-clearing fight while pitching for the Fubon Guardians in the Chinese Professional Baseball League on Sunday.
One day after former Dodger Chin-lung Hu became the fastest player in CPBL history to reach 1000 hits, Sosa sparked a confrontation after throwing several consecutive pitches inside to Rakuten Monkeys hitter Kuo Yen-Wen, the final pitch of the sequence hitting him and sending players from both dugouts rushing out to the mound.
The confrontation was mild by American standards–no real punches were thrown–but the escalation is uncommon in the CBPL.
