Professional baseball Kiwoom team completed spring camp

The professional baseball Kiwoom Heroes will return to Korea through Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 6th after completing the spring camp schedule held in Arizona, USA and Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

The Kiwoom team focused on basic training and condition management at the Arizona camp in the U.S., and then moved to Kaohsiung, Taiwan to improve their sense of practice through six evaluation games with the Taiwanese professional baseball team.

Kiwoom coach Hong Won-ki said, "All members were faithful to their respective roles and completed the entire schedule smoothly," and added, "I ordered them to have the attitude of a professional player not only on the field but also in their daily lives, and I am satisfied that they adhered to this."

Pitcher Ha Young-min and fielder Joo Seong-won were selected as the Spring Camp Most Valuable Players (MVPs).

Coach Hong said, "He set an example with his serious training attitude and active participation in education. Not only did his skills increase, but he also took a step forward in terms of body management and practicing routines."

Lastly, Coach Hong said, “Based on the performance during the camp period, we will conduct a final inspection in the exhibition game, and we will shape the season operation through selection and concentration.”

The Kiwoom team will rest on the 7th, the day after returning to Korea, and train at the Goyang national baseball training center on the 8th.

On the 9th, the first KBO exhibition game will be played against the Doosan Bears at Icheon Bears Park at 1 p.m.
