Wei-Yin Chen (Chinese: 陳偉殷; pinyin: Chén Wěiyīn; born July 21, 1985) is a Taiwanese professional baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. He previously played in the Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins, and in the NPB for the Chunichi Dragons and Chiba Lotte Marines. Because Chen was released from his guaranteed contract a few months before the 2020 MLB season was delayed due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, Chen was the highest-paid baseball player that year at $22 million.
