He played in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the La New Bears / Lamigo Monkeys, Chinatrust Brothers / CTBC Brothers, and Wei Chuan Dragons. He began his career with the Bears in 2004. The team changed its name to the Lamigo Monkeys in 2011, and Lin left after the 2015 season to sign with the Brothers.
While with the Bears and later Monkeys, Lin and his teammate Shih Chih-wei were often referred to as the "Sheng-Shih Connection," a reference to the glove puppet film Legend of the Sacred Stone. Alone, Lin is nicknamed "Big Brother." He joined the Wei Chuan Dragons in 2022 and retired at the end of the 2025 season.
