Wu played in Taiwan with the La New Bears until he moved to Japan after signing with the Chiba Lotte Marines in 2006. He is known for his exceptional control of the ball. Two years after joining the Marines, he had his official pro debut against the Orix Buffaloes on May 5, 2008, pitching 6-1/3 innings while allowing 1 run. Although Wu left the game with a 3-1 lead, the bullpen surrendered five runs and the Buffalos ultimately won 6-3. The Marines chose not to bring Wu back to the team after the 2009 season.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
