The LG Twins will also set up a spring camp in Scottsdale, Arizona next season. He won the championship last year and ranked third this season. In order to regain the championship next season, we have to faithfully quench it in the Arizona camp.
This time, he will hold the first camp in Arizona and move on to Okinawa, Japan at the end of February, where he will play practice games with domestic teams to gain a lot of hands-on experience.
Every year, the advance team left for Arizona early and prepared by building their bodies, but next season, the advance team will also head to Arizona a week earlier. This season, six pitchers, including Jung Woo-young, Kim Yoon-sik, Son Joo-young, Kang Hyo-jong, Lee Sang-young, and Lee Ji-gang, went first. Next year, he will fly first regardless of his position, such as pitcher, catcher, and fielder. Seven players, including Oh Ji-hwan, Lim Chan-gyu, Park Dong-won, Baek Seung-hyun, Son Joo-young, Lee Young-bin, and Lee Ju-heon, have volunteered for the advance team and are scheduled to leave the country on January 15.
Some players showed good performance this year, while others showed poor performance. The prospect of making a leap forward in the first division next season has been added.
Oh Ji-hwan became the highest player in LG's history with a six-year, 12.4 billion won FA contract this year. However, his performance fell as he was injured this season, his first year. He played 108 games with a batting average of 254, 94 hits, 10 homers and 59 RBIs. Failed Golden Glove for 3 consecutive years. Nevertheless, he also delivered a bouquet of congratulations to Park Chan-ho (KIA), who attended the Golden Glove Awards and received the shortstop Golden Glove.
Park Dong-won has been in good form this season. He hit .272 with 118 hits, 20 home runs and 80 RBIs. He sought his first golden glove in his life, but failed to cross the wall of veteran senior Kang Min-ho.
Lim Chan-kyu has firmly established himself as LG's domestic ace as he has won in double digits for the second consecutive year with 10-6 losses and a 3.83 ERA. In particular, with three wins in the postseason, he transformed himself into a strong pitcher in big games.

Baek Seung-hyun, who turned from shortstop to a pitcher, seemed to have established himself as a pitcher in 2023, but he had a lot of ups and downs this season. It failed to meet the expectations of the club, which had hoped to establish itself as a must-win group with 2 wins, 1 loss, 2 saves and 1 hold in 36 games.
Lee Young-bin and Lee Ju-heon have a goal to survive in the first team. Lee Young-bin, who was discharged from Sangmu during this season, batted .222 with 14 hits, two homers and 12 RBIs in 31 games. He is likely to be an infielder backup agent with Koo Bon-hyuk, but if he shows his batting ability, he can get more opportunities.
Lee Joo-heon is a case of being impressed in the first team at the end of the season. He posted it because of his good defense, but he recorded four hits in six at-bats in three games, capturing fans with confidence in batting. After the season, he improved his skills by training with the same schedule as the Japanese players at the Chunichi Dragons closing camp. In the next season, he has to fight with Kim Bum-suk for Park Dong-won's backup catcher position.
For each reason, they start a week before the main camp, build their bodies, and prepare for the season with a private camp. Players everyone needs in the first team. If they improve, LG can expect a perfect season.
