KBO attended the final report on the design of the baseball experience center held at the briefing room of the Gijang County Office on the 13th to check the infrastructure of the Gijang KBO Baseball Center, including the baseball experience center, indoor practice range, baseball museum, and youth hostel, which are scheduled to be completed by 2027.
The briefing session was attended by Gijang-gun County Governor Jeong Jong-bok, the county council and related working-level officials. Participants were briefed on major facilities of the baseball experience center, which incorporated various media video contents exclusively for baseball for the first time in Korea, and exchanged opinions on future operations. In addition, we discussed ways to revitalize major facilities in the Gijang KBO Baseball Center, including indoor practice ranges (50m wide and long) and baseball museums and the Hall of Fame.
The baseball experience center, which will be completed in August 2025, will showcase differentiated contents. It will create a space where you can experience defense and base learning in a digital space equipped with actual ground simulation, and where various age groups, including children, can participate to experience interactive experiences.
The baseball museum will be completed by the end of 2026. The baseball museum will display 120 years of Korean baseball history and relics. It also plans to establish a hall of fame to hold an induction ceremony dedicated to the achievements of baseball heroes and make it the only baseball complex cultural space in Korea to participate with fans.
Meanwhile, KBO President Koo Hu-yeon visited Gijang-gun at the end of last year and thanked Gijang-gun for establishing the Gijang KBO Baseball Center as the best baseball mecca in Korea, saying, `We will do our best for a partnership between Gijang-gun and Korean baseball to develop and coexist together.'
In response, Gijang-gun County Governor Jung Jong-bok emphasized that `We will cooperate with KBO so that the Gijang KBO Baseball Center can be created as a 'first, highest, and largest' baseball infrastructure beyond Korea.'
