Foreign players from 10 professional baseball teams are energized by joining their team’s winter training after being quarantined for two weeks after entering the country.
Aaron Brooks, who will play an active role as an ace of the KIA Tigers this season, joined the team practicing at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju today (6th). We moved to Hyundai Motor Dream Ball Park.
LG Twins’ first pitcher Casey Kelly is expected to join the LG Champions Park training in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do tomorrow. Meet with colleagues at the ball park.
Kiwoom Heroes signed a total of $600,000 with a new foreign hitter David Freitas yesterday, filling all 30 foreign players to play in this year’s KBO League.
Among them, the trio of Hanwha, including Ryan Carpenter, Nick Kingham, and Batsah Lion Healey, who entered Korea first and finished quarantine, started on the first day of the winter training, which began on the 1st at Geoje Subchon Sports Town, Gyeongnam.
Pitcher Drew Luchinski, batter Aaron Altair, KIA’s central batter Preston Tucker, new pitcher Daniel Mengden, and SK Wyverns boss Jamie Romac and pitcher Arty LeWiki were also training their first week in the domestic spring camp. Well done.
All foreigners from Lotte Giants also arrived at Sajik Stadium in Busan.
Headline infielder Dixon Machado started official training yesterday on the 2nd, pitching pitchers Dan Straley and Anderson Franco.
Players arriving between the end of January and early February will participate in team training around the middle of this month to raise their pace.
LG Andrew Suarez and Roberto Ramos, Doosan Ariel Miranda and Walker Rocket, Jose Fernandez, Kium Eric Yokishi and Josh Smith, and SK Wilmer Font will be removed from quarantine the week following the Lunar New Year holidays.
KT Audreysamer Despine and NC Wes Parsons, who arrived yesterday, will be able to participate in the training on the 20th if they get negative results from the Corona 19 test before quarantine.
KT’s William Cuevas and Kiwoom’s Freitas, who have just decided to go to Korea, have yet to resolve the visa issue, so they do not know when to enter Korea.
Kiwoom decided to check the condition of the athletes by receiving training videos every day until Freitas entered Korea.
