Chae Sang-byung (Hangul: 채상병; Hanja: 蔡尙秉; born December 18, 1979 in Seoul, South Korea) is a South Korean catcher who plays for the Samsung Lions in the Korea Baseball Organization.
Chae attended Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. In 1999, as a sophomore, he made his first appearance for the South Korea national baseball team, and competed in international matches for three-consecutive years until graduation.
In 2001, Chae competed in the Asian Baseball Championship held in Taiwan, and led his team to the silver medal. He was finally named to the All-Star team of the competition.
Signed by the Hanwha Eagles in January 2002, Chae remained on the first-team roster in his first professional year. In October 2002, he was selected for the South Korea national baseball team that finished runner-up at the 2002 Intercontinental Cup in Havana, Cuba. In Team Korea's second game in the round robin phase, Chae hit a solo home run in the 4th inning to lead his team to a 11-4 victory over Brazil.
However, he played in only 29 games in his rookie season and 25 games in 2003. At the end of 2003, Chae was traded to the Doosan Bears, but still, he hardly got opportunities to play, serving as backup to Hong Sung-Heon.
