Ryu Hyun-jin (34, Toronto Blue Jays) and Kim Gwang-hyun (33, St. Louis Cardinals), who are active in the US Major League Baseball (MLB), join the spring camp about a week later and begin preparing for the new season in earnest.
MLB.com announced the start date of the pitcher, catcher and fielder spring camps of 30 clubs on the 10th (hereinafter Korean time).
In general, pitchers who need to get in shape early start training first, and fielders join the spring camp later. Most teams start new training on the 18th to 19th for the catcher and the 23rd to 24th for the fielder.
Kwang-Hyun Kim is the first Korean player to start team training. On the 18th, Kwang-Hyun Kim meets with colleagues at Rogerdin Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, Florida, USA, to train. Starting on the 2nd, Kim Gwang-hyun has been preparing for a new season with SK Wyverns players in Jeju Island.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who has already left for the United States on the 3rd, is planning to join the team training at TD Ball Park in Dunedin, Florida starting on the 19th and work hard.
