Viza signed overseas after being released by the Minnesota Twins in late July. He went on to post a 2.51 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 32.1 innings with the Brothers to finish the 2022 season.

However, instead of attempting to make a comeback to the majors, Viza will instead stay in the CTBC and try to continue to improve his stock.

Viza has spent the previous nine seasons in the minors, registering a 4.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 639 strikeouts across 816 innings of work. 

He is a former 32nd-round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2013 MLB Draft.
