Only ever played in the minors, and career seems to have stalled after becoming a free agent in 2020. I can't see that there's enough coverage to justify a GNG pass (usual caveat: I don't speak Chinese and can't search it except through GTranslate). ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:04, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
SourcesPeople are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

From Google Translate: "In 2001, Justin Qiang was born in a working-class family in Mazhugongka County, Tibet Autonomous Region. In November 2007, Justin Qiang joined the baseball team of Beijing Dacheng School and officially started learning baseball. Before meeting coach Li Wei of Dacheng School, Justin Qiang admitted that he did not know what baseball was, but it only took him three years to show his extraordinary baseball talent. In July 2010, the final of the 28th World Junior Softball Championship was held in Edogawa, Japan. After a fierce competition in the extended round, the Chinese team defeated the Chinese Taipei team and won the championship of the 28th World Junior Softball Championship. Justin Qiang, who played as a second baseman, completed the last outs and was selected as the "best team" of the World Championships after the game."
The article notes: "But the catcher is the backbone, setting the pace, anchoring and orchestrating the team – and this is the role Justin could someday play. A powerful left-handed hitter, he is 17 years old, six feet tall and 186 pounds, ideally suited to baseball. Last fall, after some scouts saw him behind the plate, Justin achieved the nearly impossible – he was signed by the Boston Red Sox as a player in their Gulf Coast League, US$10,000 bonus in hand, becoming the first player from Tibet ever signed by Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States."
The article notes: "Ten years ago, the Tibetan teenager had no clue about the game. But earlier this month, the 6-foot, 185-pound catcher signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox. ... Born to a working-class family in Tibet's Maizhokunggar county in 2001, Qiangbarenzeng joined the Beijing Dacheng School baseball team under coach Li Wei at age 6. Three years later he helped Team China beat Chinese Taipei to win a tournament in Japan and was one of six Chinese selected for the All-Star team. ... After their initial assessment, Red Sox scout Louie Lin and Eddie Romero, Boston's former international scouting director and now assistant general manager, suggested Qiangbarenzeng could be a good catcher, prompting the switch."
