Kiwoom Heroes foreign hitters Yasiel Puig and Ruben Cardinez played their first live batting training at the Arizona Athletic Ground in Mesa, Arizona on the 7th (Korea Standard Time). The two players, who have been training batting against pitching machines and bullpen pitchers, coordinated their batting sense by facing balls thrown by real pitchers such as Joo Seung-woo, Lee Kang-joon and Son Hyun-ki for the first time during the camp.
The two players focused on checking the timing and balance while watching as many balls as possible. Puig made several strong hits with his unique powerful swing, and Cadines also showed a stable hit based on his accurate contact ability.

Puig said "It was my first live batting, so I watched a lot of the ball and tried to learn the sense. There were foul balls, but the overall timing was not bad"I'm having fun training with my colleagues I haven't seen in a long time. I will prepare well for the practice game scheduled for the second camp in Taiwan."
"It was nice to see the pitchers' balls for the first time in a long time," Kadinez said. It was my first live batting since recovering from my injury, so I focused on getting the ball right"I'm in perfect shape at the moment. I will prepare well for the season while maintaining a healthy body" he said.
The two players wrapped up the day's schedule by performing call-play training following live batting.
