The KT Wiz squad left for Australia, where the first spring camp will be held through Incheon International Airport on the 26th.스포츠토토
The kt team, led by head coach Lee Kang-chul, will play the first spring camp centered on physical and basic training with a three-day training-one-day break from the 26th to February 23rd in Jeollong, Australia.
On February 25, he will move to Okinawa, Japan, and hold practice games with the Hanwha Eagles, Samsung Lions, SSG Landers, LG Twins, and KIA Tigers until March 6 to enhance his sense of play.
KT's biggest homework in the spring camp is to clean up its traffic in the infield. Shim Woo-joon, a free agent who played shortstop in the winter, moved to Hanwha and recruited Heo Kyung-min, a third baseman who played for the Doosan Bears.
The military power issue has been resolved, but the position issue has emerged anew. For now, Heo will take charge of his existing position as third baseman. Heo has displayed the best defense capability in Korea at third base. With Heo's addition, it is inevitable that Hwang Jae-gyun, the existing third baseman, will move to the position.
During this spring's training session, Hwang will find a new position by training all infielders except catchers. Hwang has already lost more than 10 kilograms and prepared to change his position.
Hwang Jae-gyun wants to defend first base, but it is not easy because Moon Sang-cheol and Oh Jae-il are holding on. Oh Yoon-seok and Kim Sang-soo are on second base. Kim Sang-soo is likely to take over as a shortstop who has a hole due to Shim Woo-jun's transfer.
Coach Lee Kang-chul will watch Hwang Jae-kyun's defensive training and start traffic control.
KT should also determine the position of Kang Baek-ho, who played as a catcher last year. Since his debut in the pro league, Kang has played various roles including outfielder, first baseman, and catcher, but has repeatedly exposed unstable defense issues. Kang said, "I hope you focus on one defensive role in the new season.
Kang, who will become a free agent after the 2025 season, appeared on a YouTube channel recently and said, "I want to play as a first baseman in the new season." However, KT is expected to have a difficult time as its first baseman position is saturated.
Kang Baek-ho is likely to play as Jang Sung-woo's backup catcher as he mainly plays designated hitter this year.
