Wei-Hua Lee is a prospect of the Uni-President Lions.

Lee went 1-1 with a 1.64 ERA for Taiwan in the 2007 World Port Tournament, despite walking 8 in 11 innings. He was picked by the Uni-President Lions in the 2007 draft. In the 2008 Final Olympic Qualification Tournament, the southpaw retired six of seven batters he faced, with 3 strikeouts. He is listed with a save against Spain but this is hard to fathom as Taiwan won 13-3 and Lee only pitched one inning. He helped Taiwan clinch a spot in the 2008 Olympics. In the 2008 season, he pitched in the minors for the Lions, going 5-1 with a 1.70 ERA. He was on Taiwan's provisional roster for the 2009 World Baseball Classic but he did not make the final cut.

Lee debuted on April 2 in the CPBL, allowing a hit to the only batter he faced in his first game.

Lee's repertoire includes a slider, curveball, forkball and fastball (peak time 90 mph).
