Chen se convirtió en el primer jugador de béisbol taiwanés en jugar en las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol (MLB) cuando hizo su debut el 14 de septiembre de 2002. [ 4 ] Jugó esporádicamente para los Dodgers de Los Ángeles en partes de las temporadas 2002-05. En 2005, Chen se mostró reacio a aceptar una designación para ser asignado de nuevo al equipo Triple-A Las Vegas 51s de los Dodgers y probar suerte con otro equipo de las Grandes Ligas.

En 2005, Chen fue el primer jugador de posición taiwanés en conectar un hit en la MLB, un sencillo productor de dos carreras contra el relevista de los Colorado Rockies , Bobby Seay . El lanzador Chin-hui Tsao se había convertido anteriormente en el primer jugador taiwanés en conectar un hit en las Grandes Ligas, con los Colorado Rockies el 18 de agosto de 2003.

Tras finalizar su contrato con los Dodgers al término de la temporada 2005, Chen anunció el 26 de diciembre de ese mismo año que no regresaría a Norteamérica para la temporada 2006, sino que se presentaría al draft de la CPBL. En 2006, después de tener dificultades para entrar en la plantilla de 25 jugadores de los Dodgers, Chen probó suerte en la liga profesional japonesa ( NPB ) y, finalmente, decidió jugar en la Liga Profesional de Béisbol China (CPBL) en Taiwán.

He was promptly selected by the La New Bears as a designated hitter. Chen completed his first complete baseball season back home in Taiwan in 2006. He ranked first in many statistics, including batting average and 81 RBIs. He also led the Bears to the championship, and won his first MVP title for the final series matches.

In the 2007 Asian Baseball Championship, Chen homered off Yu Darvish of Japan, briefly giving Chinese Taipei a lead.[5][6] Chen played well in the tournament and gained attention from several Japanese and Korean teams, including the Orix Buffaloes. However, Chen did not sign with them, and remained in Taiwan.

Chen announced his retirement from the CPBL on September 18, 2016.[7] Following the end of his final match that day, Lamigo Monkeys retired his number, #52.[8]
