This is a Chinese name; the family name is Chang.

Chang Tai-shan (traditional Chinese: 張泰山; simplified Chinese: 张泰山; pinyin: Zhāng Tàishān; Wade–Giles: Chang1 Tai4 Shan1; born October 31, 1976 in Taitung, Taiwan), Amis name Ati Masaw, is a Taiwanese professional baseball player. Originally drafted by the Wei Chuan Dragons in 1996, he has been playing for the Sinon Bulls since 2000 after the Dragons' dissolution in 1999. A well-known slugger, Chang has been a frequent member of the Chinese Taipei national baseball team since 1998 and holds the record of hitting the most home runs in the Chinese Professional Baseball League history (197 home runs as of the end of 2007 season).

He was missing from the Olympic Games as because he tested positive for a banned substance. Chang denies taking any banned drugs and thinks it may be because of medication he took. As a result of the test he may be banned for 3 years.[1]

He was traded from Sinon Bulls to Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions by Cash, NT$2.5 Million (about US$85,000).[2]
