Chin-Lung Hu (born February 2, 1984, Chinese 胡金龍 Hú Jīnlóng) is a Taiwanese professional baseball shortstop for the Uni-President Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL). He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, and in the CPBL for the EDA Rhinos/Fubon Guardians. He was the fifth player — and first infielder — from Taiwan to play in MLB. His last name (along with that of fellow Taiwanese Fu-Te Ni, formerly of the Detroit Tigers) is the shortest in MLB history.
