In order to intensify the development of the sport of the fundamental baseball, and to make it more popular among people, the ministry of education started to hold the baseball tournaments for primary schools since 1988,aimed at honing the skills of the youth who play baseball. In the past decade, we see a lot of talented and famous players showed up one by one, Wang, Chen and Tsao, players of MLB in U.S. All of them are captivated by this tournament. In our introduction, aboriginal students play an important role in the history of the development of baseball sport in Taiwan. Of all the players, there were more than 40% of aboriginal players in our national baseball team that represented Taiwan to participate 2004 Olympic summer games, and more than 30% of aboriginal players showcasing themselves in CPBL right now. Consequently, aboriginal players in Taiwan play big in baseball games. The 2005 world Pony League MVP: Wu, who study in Si-Yuan junior high school, as a great pitcher, Wu is absolutely an outstanding aboriginal player of Tayan in Miao-Li. Aboriginal baseball players are the shining stars that glorified Taiwan: A baseball powerhouse in the world. My study about the aboriginal students in primary school who are participants of the youth league of baseball from 1988 to 2005, trying to make some conclusions and suggestions that provide some references to authorities concerned, administration of our central government or Hsinchu County, as they try hard to promote the baseball sport.
