The defeat of latest international games made baseball fans in Taiwan know that the skills level of Taiwan baseball team fell far behind other top baseball teams in the world. Compared with Major League Baseball(MLB), Japan Professional Baseball(NPB), and Korea Baseball Organization(KBO), Chinese Professional Baseball League(CPBL) is the only professional baseball organization which had no farm system. Farm system seemed to be the main reason that CPBL has poorer skill. National Council on Physical Fitness and Sports knew that the importance of farm system and proposed the project ”assisting CPBL develop their own farm system”. But the project had been controversial since it started. At present, only La new Bears and Uni-President Lions had their own farm team. Brother Elephants and Macoto Cobras made of “Team Red” and Sinon Bulls and Chinatrust Whales made of “Team Blue”. Some teams’ effort on establishing farm teams lacked consistency with NCPFS. Krautmann and Oppenheimer (1996) found that less than half of MLB teams received a fair rate of return on training, but they were still willing to pay the training cost of minor league. In Asia, both NPB and KBO had their own farm system. Therefore, the role and function of farm system were very important for us to discuss, before CPBL’s farm system was getting better. We used documentary analysis to define the role and function of farm system, and testified the function through second-hand data analysis. Finally, we offered suggestion to CPBL on establishing farm system. The results were as followed. There was a difference between farm system in NPB and MLB because of. They indeed gave young players much time to improve, and minor league really benefited some small-market MLB team. Although CPBL faced worst environmental factors, farm system should still be made.
