In the aftermath of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), overseas field training has become difficult, and all professional baseball teams preparing for the 2021 season are stepping up in Korea. Among them, SK Wyverns was the only one out of 10 clubs to come down to Jeju Island to hold a spring camp. The relatively warm temperature and facilities are the first pass.
SK will hold a spring camp at Gangchanghak Baseball Stadium located in Seogwipo, Jeju, from the 1st to the 34th. Last month, the team sold it to Shinsegae Group, and it became the last camp to be held with a’SK’ sign.
Contrary to the situation and concerns that it is not possible to conduct training overseas, where the weather and facilities are good as usual, the Seogwipo Camp is running well.
Although the weather was not as good as the day before due to strong winds, the satisfaction of the players was generally good.
SK, which replaced it with indoor training instead of outdoors after it rained on the 1st, began training in earnest by dividing it into a pitching tank and a beast tank at the Kangchanghak Baseball Stadium.
The batters had long-awaited free bets in the open air, and the pitchers sweated while doing catch ball and defense training.
The daytime temperature in Seogwipo on the 2nd was around 9 degrees Celsius, which was in contrast to the chilly day in Seoul at -4 degrees below zero.

Choi Jung-eun, who had been quenching in Jeju in the form of an advance team, smiled, “It was so warm that I had to turn on the air conditioner in the room. The weather changes suddenly once, but it is relatively cozy.”
Right-hander Kim Sang-soo, who trained for the first time in Jeju, raised his thumb at the training facilities at the Kangchanghak Baseball Stadium. Before the 2021 season, Kim Sang-soo changed his uniform to SK by raising it through sign and trade.
Kim Sang-soo explained, “I have been camping only in the warm United States, but Jeju Island is also not cold and I like it very much,” said Kim Sang-soo.
SK has usually held spring camps in Florida in the US and Okinawa in Japan.
SK General Manager Ryu Seon-gyu said, “I was worried about setting up a camp in Jeju, but when I came to see it, I was satisfied with the baseball field, the auxiliary stadium, and the indoor training ground,” he said. Told.
