The Premier 12 national team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, won 2-0 in a warm-up match against the Cuban national team at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 1st.
It was the first mock test of the national team, which became a "full body". The national team selected more than 30 players with 'Training Entry'. While the first training was held on the 24th of last month, all KIA Tigers and Samsung Lions players, who had been absent from the Korean Series since the night of the 30th, joined.
Coach Ryu said, `First of all, we play two games against Cuba, and the priority is what type of batter will come out when analyzing the opponent's power. Except for KIA and Samsung (who played in the Korean Series), they know that they have lost their sense of play. Through the two games, we plan to increase our sense of play so that we can play in the best condition in Taiwan."
On this day, South Korea made the starting lineup in the order of Hong Chang-ki (left-winger), Kim Hwi-jip (st baseman), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Park Dong-won (fosu), Moon Bo-kyung (first baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Song Sung-moon (second baseman), Na Seung-yeop (designated hitter), and Lee Ju-hyung (middle fielder).
Joelkis Guibert (center fielder), Joan Moncada (third baseman), Valvaro Aruévarouena (striker), Alfredo Despaigne (designated hitter), Rafael Villales (right fielder), Lassaro Armenteros (left fielder), Robert Valdoquin (first baseman), Andris Perez (catcher) and Yadier Mujica (second baseman) started the game.

The pitching staff perfectly tied the Cuban batting line, but the batting line has to find a little more condition. After scoring one run each in the first and second innings, he remained silent afterwards.
In the bottom of the first inning, leadoff hitter Hong Chang-ki drew a walk, and Kim Hwi-jip's hit created chances for the first and third bases. Kim Do-young's hit, which is considered the "MVP's No. 1" as he achieved 40 home runs and 40 steals this season, went to the back of the first and second basemen, and the second basemen failed to catch it at the last moment. The third baseman came home, and Kim Hui-jip, who was at first base, was out at second base. Kim Do-young later stole second base, but the score failed due to the subsequent batter's strikeout.

Since then, it has been a pitching competition. Cuba's starting pitcher Yera pitched three innings of two runs, and six pitchers came up one after another to keep the rest of the inning scoreless.
The national team will play its second warm-up match against Cuba on the 2nd.
