The winning team is different... On the first day of the LG camp

The defending champion LG Twins held their first training session at the spring camp in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA on the 1st (Korea Standard Time).

Having arrived in Scottsdale on the previous day, LG conducted self-training sessions on the day. Light warm-up drills will take place to adjust to jet lag, and individual training programs for pitchers, fielders and catchers will take place in earnest from Tuesday.

LG players arrived in two buses at 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. local time. They had a general meeting and a part-time meeting at 11 a.m. and all players shared the camp's management. They had self-training sessions after lunch.

The training schedule was voluntarily entrusted to the players, with the fielders immediately practicing batting, and the pitchers conducted their first training with running and catching balls. Operations team staff were busy, installing rhapsody equipment between the mound and the batter's box at the two stadiums. All 42 players who participated in the camp participated.

In Scottsdale, the temperature was as high as 25 degrees Celsius, with no clouds and warm sunshine as the weather was very nice. "The weather is so nice," an LG official said.

Among LG players who finished eating, captain Oh Ji-hwan, veteran Kim Hyun-soo and foreign hitter Austin were the first players to come to the ground and warm up by running. When Park Dong-won came out, he was also scolded by saying, "Hurry up."

Afterwards, fielders gathered in groups in the locker room to the main stadium. Pitchers gathered at the next stadium where fielders gathered to warm up and prepare for catch.

It was autonomous but the training session started from the first day. "Everyone is passionate," Park said with a smile. Austin continued to hit home run balls, and when he stepped out of the batting cage, he threw the bat into the air for a ceremony.

New foreign pitcher N.S. warmed up and played catch with Kelly. New faces such as rookie pitcher Jin Woo-young and second draft transfer Lee Jong-joon are also trying to adapt by pairing them with existing players.

Jung Woo-young, who is undergoing rehabilitation after elbow surgery, trained himself to throw a weighting ball into a net five to six meters away from the bullpen. "I'm in good physical condition without any pain. I'm not in a hurry and I'm slowly building up my physical condition," said Jung Woo-young, who arrived at the camp site as an advance team on April 21.안전놀이터
